[CentOS] nfsv4 and kerberos - fails to mount

  I have been trying all sorts of things to get this working.
nfsv4 works fine if I just use the nfs-v3 form of export
i.e.
/nfs4exports 
192.168.230.237/24(ro,fsid=0,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,squash_uids=0-99)
/nfs4exports/NDG 
192.168.230.237/24(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide,sync,no_root_squash,squash_uids=0-99)
but this is inherently open to all on this machine.

so then using this recipe
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/kerberos-authentication-with-nfsv4/1965
and many others that hours of google foo shows

change exports to
/nfs4exports 
gss/krb5(ro,fsid=0,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,squash_uids=0-99)
/nfs4exports/NDG 
gss/krb5(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,nohide,sync,no_root_squash,squash_uids=0-99)

now from the client I can see
[rkampen at timsws ~]$ showmount -e example.com
Export list for example.com:
/nfs4exports     gss/krb5
/nfs4exports/NDG gss/krb5

but
[rkampen at timsws /]$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 ndgonline.net:/ /NDG/
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting ndgonline.net:/

and
[rkampen at timsws /]$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 ndgonline.net:/NDG /NDG/
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting ndgonline.net:/NDG

And I cannot find any log entries relating to the kerberos KDC or on the 
nfs server - two different machines.
I have set up all the principals in the KDC and used kadmin/ktadd to 
load into the client and the server /etc/krb5.keytab as per the above url.
How and where do I get logging to occur so I can find out the missing 
piece in my kerberos setup?
Any help or directions appreciated.
TIA
