NFS - Permission denied

I lost an NFS connection to a Mac on the lan.  Now I get 

mount: 192.168.1.20:/Volumes/Alien failed, reason given by server: Permission 
deniied

The above Alien directory is owned by edj:100, same as on this Gentoo 
machine.  So are all the subdirectories.  I guess, therefore, that the 
problem is somewhere on the Linux side.  showmount -e seems correct:
Export list for 192.168.1.20:
/Volumes/Alien 192.168.0.0

As does rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.20

fstab entry:
192.168.1.20:/Volumes/Alien   /mnt/alien   nfs rw,noauto,noexec,nosuid,nodev

Any hints as to where to look for some misconfigured file greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks,
