The magic of UFS, ZFS and NFS

Good evening, everybody!

I am trying hard as hell to get a share on my file server (obelix) to my 
workstation. I have not had any real luck yet.

The situation:

I have a directory /usr/archive/ under which my files are to be stored. The 
directory itselt is mounted under /. There are two ZFS mountpoints under this:

/usr/archive/work
/usr/archive/private

I exported it as so:

V4: /usr/archive/         -alldirs -network 192.168.100/24

The mount works fine and I can see all files under /usr/archive/ including the 
two directories. I can access all files. Both directories are empty though.

Well, those two directories are seperate filesystems, so they require their own 
mountpoint. So I gave them one: Same line as above just with 
/usr/archive/private.

Now when I try to mount the share, I get this:
[tcp] obelix:/usr/archive/private: Permission denied

/var/log/messages on obelix says this:
obelix mountd[50070]: mount request denied from 192.168.100.8 for
  /usr/archive/private

This seems to be some quirk concerning the access permissions. I just can't 
figure out what. Can someone give me a push in the right direction, please?

Best,
Chris
