+For a moment I thought I had cracked it.  I hand edited the lines,
+took out the '/export' since that seemed to be handled as yet another
+export, took out the IP address (my attempts in the GUI at confining
+it to the LAN) and put '*' in front of the bracketed options.
+
+Back on the laptop 'mount -t nfs 192.168.0.40:/ /mnt/borg2_Data1'
+gives to errors - and I was just about to cheer, when I realised that
+Dolphin still couldn't see any files.  There are no error messages or
+anything at first, then the popup box told me that /mnt/borg2_Data1
+was either busy or already mounted (can't remember the exact words).
+
+That was quickly replaced by "An error occurred while accessing 'home
+on 192.168.0.40', the system responded: mount.nfs: access denied by
+server while mounting 192.168.0.40:/home
+
+I edited the lines to
+
+[root at tosh ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.40:/Data1 /mnt/borg2_Data1
+[root at tosh ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.0.40:/home/anne /mnt/borg2_home
+
+but get the same errors.
+
+Hah! suddenly I have /home/anne/ on 192.168.0.40 and it's readable.
+
+That's obviously an improvement, but I still need the Data1 directory
+tree.  Root can umount it.  It shows every sign of being mounted, yet
+I can't read any of it.  All the data there is owned anne:users so it
+shouldn't be a permissions issue.
