I might have found an even bigger problem. It appears that the pool wasn't even mounted correctly. My 'rc-pool' must have crashed in the past, leaving the mountpoint /rc-pool behind.
On reboot the pool hadn't mounted because the /rc-pool folder was already there, and it appears that is why the NFS shares weren't up. However, it appears that setting sharenfs=on brought the NFS shares up, but pointing to the wrong location. /rc-pool was stored on the root volume, and it looks like I've created 30GB or so of virtual machines on my root hard disk. Fortunately I've got enough free space to get away with it, but that could have been a major problem. This is only my first impressions, I'm going away now to double check and see exactly what happened, and see if I can replicate it, but if setting sharenfs=on doesn't check that the pool is mounted when creating the share that could also be a problem.
