Did you allow portmap connections in /etc/hosts.allow? Remember that the new portmapper service uses tcp wrappers and NFS connections use portmap, so if you don't allow those in hosts.allow (assuming your hosts.deny says ALL : ALL like it should =) ) you can't make the NFS connection.

Check your logs for connection denials.
