It sounds like you don't have NFS installed properly on the 2.2.1 box.  (we 
have NFS working fine between 2.0.2 and 2.2, so I don't think that is the 
problem).  I would try re-installing NFS to see if it clears the problem.

One thing to check would be to run "strings /etc/mount | grep NFS"  if you 
don't see several lines of output including an SCCSID for Lachman, at least
this way you will know you have the correct mount command.

The other things you can try are:

	manually mount a local file system onto your own machine
	manually mount with just the NFS,soft type (yes that will be
		a problem if you ran the system that way, but at least you can
		see if you get past the mount)
