In my /etc/exports file I just have the rw option.  After that I manually
mount the nfs volume by doing:

mount -t nfs host:/home/gerry /mnt/nfs

This successfully mounts host:/home/gerry on the mount point /mnt/nfs. 
The problem I'm getting is if I forget and reboot "host" then I can't
umount this volume.  Generally I end up having to reboot to get this to
release.  It sure doesn't unmount just by

umount /mnt/nfs

There's got to be a more gracefull way of unmounting an nfs volume if the
server disappears.
