Correct nfs is working and there aren't any firewall issues.

The problem is probably related to the way and steps that automountd 
takes to perform the mount, which is probably related to the fact that 
/home exists.
The quickest way to figure that out is to mv /home to /home- and then 
try automountd again.  When and autofs file system is access automountd 
will check that the mount point exists and create it if not and then 
perform the mount.

In all this you might have to restart autofs on the client.
