This is probably a kernel problem.

Newer nfs-utils uses nfsdctl to start the server, whereas the older
nfs-utils would use rpc.nfsd. nfsdctl uses the netlink interfaces to
start the server instead of /proc/fs/nfsd which rpc.nfsd uses.

If you're getting different results with the two different nfs-utils
versions then the problem is likely there. I'll take a look.
