Access NFS Share on PVR help

Hoping someone can help me with a NFS share issue.

I've built up an i5 to use as a home media server. I have successfully installed OMV on it.
I want stream video's to a Topfield PVR (which supports NFS) I have successfully done this under
windows 7 using FreeNFS.

I have set a share called andrew through OMV's web interface. I have given myself read / write access.
The NFS service is running. The PVR connects to my server OK but does not list any files in the shared directory.
If I FTP into the server I can view the shared directory and the media files in it.

The PVR uses an ini file to point it to the shared folder amongst other things. I have pasted it below
in the hope it may yield some information to someone my knowledgeable than me.

For what it's worth I'm a Linux novice and I set the server's harddrive file system as JFS.

(ini file on PVR)

NAS IP-Address=192.168.0.23
NAS MAC-Address=
Local Folder Name=Media_Server
Remotefolder MediaFiles=/export/andrew
Mountoptions=-osoft,intr,tcp,rsize=65535,nolock
NAS Boottime=30
Automount=1
Ping Wait=3
Ping Gap=30
MountDelay=30
NAS Recording=0
Timerdelay=0
SilentMode=0

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for the prompt reply. As a relative new comer to linux I'll try and answer your questions as best I can although I'm afraid they are a bit beyond my experience level.
1) I know you can telnet into the PVR but I have never done so.
2) I have an old P4 with Ubuntu loaded on it, however I wouldn't know how to test the export mount.
3) Not sure on this one. Just followed the OMV setup as best I could.

Thanks Subzero, will try these options out tomorrow. The PVR itself does not support NFS natively. The Topfield brand supports user developed applications. The one I'm using is called NASMount. http://tms.hdpvr.de/index_en.html#NASMount

Hi Subzero,

I added subtree_check,insecure,no_root_squash in options as suggested but the same issue is still present,
no files or folders visible in the PVR's on screen menu. The remote control for the PVR has a speed key on it
to create new folders on whatever drives are present. I pushed it a few times to see if it would make new folders.
Nothing appeared on screen.

Next I ran Ubuntu on the P4 in order to test the export mount. Before I ran the mount command I FTP'd in just to check if Ubuntu could access the media server. To my surprise the PVR had made several new folders on the OMV server. So it appears the PVR can write to the server, it just can't display the files.

The mount 192.168.0.23:/export/andrew /mnt command returns the following,

[sudo] password for user:
root@tux:~# mount 192.168.0.23:/export/andrew /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.0.23:/export/andrew,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

root@tux:~#

Next, just to verify the PVR, I was again able to mount a windows 7 share via FreeNFS and see all files on the PVR's menu.

It sounds like I've forgotten to set some simple option?

I noticed in OMV FAQ's that the preferred file system is EXT4, I set mine up with JFS. Do you think this maybe an issue?

Below is the PVR's NFS mount app's log file if it helps.

Thanks,

Andrew
