fsid MUST be included on the main mount point like this:
/export
gss/krb5(fsid=0,sync,no_root_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/export/home1
gss/krb5(rw,nohide,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
/export/home2
gss/krb5(rw,nohide,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
#
# legacy mounts
# /export/home1
192.168.159.1/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check)
# /export/home2
192.168.159.1/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check)

(sorry, evolution forces extra linebreaks, after the pathnames),
so /eports is the base path, home1 and home2 the exported filesystems. I
use kerberos so I do not have the hostnames there, but the gss/krb5

Here is your real problem: nfs mount points are relative to the base
export point, i.e. /export in my case. If you only have /test exported,
you have to mount peobble-anop:/ not ../test!
In my case I mount server:/home1 and server:/home2
