partitions, so I probably can't help much with this as I don't have a
network, so don't deal with network issues. But since I see you've
posted this for the second time, I'll try to give you something.
Here you use directories, above you implied systems. For directories,

just put entries in fstab using the UUID (blkid) so they are mounted at
boot. Create mount points to use in fstab in /mnt.

Do you see anything in /var/log/messages on the server? Have you tried

the -v option?
There are no error messages on the RedHat system.
I think an alternative to the method you are using would be to use nfs,

but that is conjecture on my part. Maybe you would have better luck
with a different technique.
I am using nfs.
In your situation, I would do a lot of web searching. :-)
