CentOS - Sep 2010 - statd random port - sysconfig/nfs not taking effect

I have changed /etc/sysconfig/nfs to specify port numbers for NFS
daemons. Somehow statd is still starting up at random port number.
Other damons are starting at properly at specified port numbers Any
clues on what might be wrong? Any other location/setting that takes
precedence over sysconfig/nfs ? It's CentOS 5.5 64bit with nfs-utils
1.0.9-44.el5.

I use this on all my servers:
<snip>
# Port rpc.mountd should listen on.
MOUNTD_PORT=4002
#
#
# Optional arguments passed to rpc.statd. See rpc.statd(8)
#STATDARG=""
# Port rpc.statd should listen on.
STATD_PORT=4000
# Outgoing port statd should used. The default is port
# is random
#STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=4000
<snip>
And this works on 32 and 64 bit Centos 5.x
Don't forget to open up iptables.

I have configured port numbers in etc/sysconfig/nfs, but it's not
working for statd, other daemons start at specified ports. Any other
configuration file to look for?

I should add that I already have NFSv4 style exports and this change
was being made to allow NFSv3 mounts which requires additional daemons
like statd, mountd, and rquotad.
