It will mount just fine and I can write data to the mount folder from 
Linux.  FilePro can write files there also.  I just can't open filePro 
in a way that requires a lock to the file.

I looked at the /etc/exports file and the two mounts that are handled on 
boot up are shown there.  However, the mount I did manually did not list 
there.  Could it be a difference in manual and mounting from fstab?
