I get sort of the same, I have an Redhat 8.0 home server, that gets mounted by several clients, all running Redhat 9, and on everyone, when they get shutdown (the uptime has no effect), they all error on shutdown, with the same portmap unable to receive, I have mentioned this on the list several times, but so far no reply, in my case, it seems its trying to umount the remote shares, whilst they are still in use, ot shut down portmapper, before unmounting the shares.
