I am trying to duplicate your options ... and noatime is not a valid option.

Could you please double check the /etc/export options again so I can try 
to duplicate the issue.

Using my standard /etc/exports on 2 i686 test platforms I have no 
problems at all.

Here are the options I used on my test:

(rw,insecure,sync,no_subtree_check)

Thanks,
