I don't have the same setup, but perhaps my notes can help. I use Ubuntu
server as a NAS and Ubuntu desktop as a client. The client mounts the NAS
via NFSv4 at boot via /etc/fstab. I used this guide:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

Does your NAS only support NFSv3?

My hosts.allow/deny look like so:

portmap mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.11
portmap mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : ALL

Perhaps you need to list statd here?
