I hope you are using correct version of nfs-util which matches with your kernel version. some debugging with /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server will surely help to know where is it actually failing. It happened with me once, that this script checked for kernel symbol to find if module is loaded by grepping for something like 'init_nfsd' within kernel symbols and signature of this symbol changed in recent kernels so, it failed to detect NFS server module.
