A "mount point" is simply a directory where you want to mount a file system. An empty one would be an empty dirrectory, one that does not contain other files nor is it being used as a mount point for another fs. (It is possible to mount over-top of a non-empty directory, making it somewhat hidden) So, to create a mount point called /mnt/remote_nfs_share ...

If BOTH /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny are empty, then all access is allowed. If there is anything beyond commented lines in either file, then any service built to use tcpwrappers (or its lib) must pass the rules those two files create. If nothing applies, (no catch-all rules) then the connection is allowed. (is there anything in either file?) Do you have iptables running?
