Just a wild guess without actually reading the whole email:
By default FreeBSD does not create a seperate partition for /home. /home
is actually a symlink to /usr/home. From the exports(5) man page:
"The pathnames must not have any symbolic links in them and should not
have any "." or ".." components."
Therefore you may need to export /usr/home instead of /home. This works
wonderfully for me (although my clients are FreeBSD as well).
