To mount shares manually (which is what it sounds like you want to
do), it recently became necessary to specify "users" in the NFS line
in your /etc/fstab file.

For example, you would change this:

192.168.1.200:/foo /bar nfs rw,hard,intr,noauto,noexec 0 0

To this:

192.168.1.200:/foo /bar nfs users,rw,hard,intr,noauto,noexec 0 0

Then you'd export your share again and restart the network:

sudo exportfs -ar
sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

I've got an updated NFS guide online if you're interested.
