NFSv4: mount -t nsf4 not the same as mount_newnfs?

Hello.
I set up a NFSv4 server located on a FreeBSD 8.0/amd64 box (most recent 
world). It seems I successfully set up the NFSv4 service and this 
results in a successful mount of a file system by another FreeBSD 8.0 
box. But their is a weirdnes I do not understand.

Mounting the filessystem via

mount_newnfs host:/path /path

works fine, but not

mount -t nfs4 host:/path /path.

When doing the latter, I always get the error

: Operation not supported by device

What I'm doing wrong?

Regards,
Oliver

P.S.

Kernel has both NFSSERVER and NFSD, NFSCL and NFSCLIENT, /etc/rc.conf has

nfsv4_server_enable="YES"
nfsuserd_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
on serverside,

on clientside, it's

nfsuserd_enable="YES"
nfscbd_enable="YES"
