I am fairly certain that this is a problem in H.J.'s kmountd. When kmountd
get a request to mount /home_1/cjd it should export the longest path that
is a substring of `/home_1/cjd'. In this case `/home_1' (I assume that
`/home_1/cjd' is not in the exports file of the server).
It should then call getfd with `/home_2/cjd'.

The paths in `/etc/exports', `/var/lib/nfsxtab', and `/proc/fs/nfs' should
all be the same!
