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).
