Since we got the RAID appliance mounted, we'd started with a project
directory on it, and that exported just fine. So what seems to work was to
put the new directory under that, and then export *that*. That is,
/path/to/ourproj, which mounts under /ourproj, and we wanted to mount
something else under /otherproj, (note that ourproj is the large xfs
filesystem), so instead of /path/to/otherproj, I just exported
/path/to/ourproj/otherproj, and mounted that on the other system as
/otherproj.
Does that make sense? Clear as mud? Anyway, it looks like we have our
workaround.
