We used forcereload, but that isn't really intuitive to a user, esp. given 
that mountd is implicitly started, but issuing a reload just silently
fails.  If the reload attempt whined, or if rc.d was smarter about implicit
dependencies so that it would see that mountd was implicitly started and
thus implicitly enable reload, either of those would be a vast improvement
over the current system.
