I'm sure I had a mismatch between all of the files in terms of path somehow, but i never really did figure out what i did wrong. i'm not sure what the point of using: /home /nfs4exports/home none bind 0 0 as a mount point is. Seems like using that provided some way to simplify the set-up. or maybe it is simplifying the set-up and i just don't realize it.
