I have a small network at my house and trying to mount a dir on a networked computer (all running RedHat 7.0. I am getting a pemission denied error when running mount -a on the client machine. Here is how I have it set up.

client's (lucky)
/etc/fstab:
#NFS Mounts
proxy:/music /pmusic nfs rw 0 0

server's (proxy)
/etc/exports
/music lucky(rw)
**I also have rpc.mountd and portmap running.**

Here is the error I get when running mount -a on the client(lucky):
mount: proxy:/music failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
I am pretty sure my problem is from one if not both of the entries in my /etc/fstab and /etc/exports. If any knows what I have set up wrong, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

~kill-9

Make sure you have lucky in your /etc/hosts file.

Both machines have identical /etc/hosts files, and lucky is included in both.
