Uncomment this lines for a more much more verbose logging in 
/etc/sysconfig/nfs:

RPCGSSDARGS="-vvv"
RPCSVCGSSDARGS="-vvv"

Double check your /etc/krb5.keytab. On the server it must have the 
nfs/server.exemple.net key and on the client it must have 
nfs/client.exemple.net.


In idmapd.conf, leave it as the default:
[General]

Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = localdomain

[Mapping]

Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody

[Translation]
Method = nsswitch

Believe me, I've tried to understand[1] why Domain must be "localdomain" 
but I've no been lucky.

Miguel

I made the requested changes and when I start the nfs services (/etc/init.d/nfs start) I get the same error messages. I made sure that I have used kinit nfs/nfs.example.net -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab and verified that the principle was loaded by using klist. I have disabled SELINUX & iptables to make sure that neither are interfering with this. Thanks again for the help!

I finally figured out what the heck was causing the problem, it was the following line in my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1	localhost localhost.localdomain nfs.example.net nfs

Once I removed the "nfs.example.net" & "nfs" entries the rpc.svcgssd service started fine.

Dan
