Public bug reported:

I've been trying to use the Shared Folders functionality in Dapper Drake beta 
I ran System, Administration, Shared Folders. (Told me I needed to install Samba or NFS. I chose NFS. It installed, then I ran update.) In Shared Folder Settings, clicked Add and added a directory. Used showmount -e to verify that all went well. It did.
THEN, I went back to the GUI, deleted the original folder, added and new folder and clicked OK.  Showmount -e then showed the original folder. Retried. Got same thing. Went out to CLI exportfs -a and it then worked.

Will add another post about client side GUI not seeing exported NFS
folders.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-
admin'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
