well, I tested it for trouble shooting. if I mount the /windows vfat and
export with knfsd it fails. if I do not moiut the vfat, it does. ergo,
the config files are okay, knfsd refuses. 

somebody else pointed out in private mail that knfsd isn't supposed to
be able to export vfat filesystems and unfsd could. if he is correct, I
will have to onstall the other utils again and install unfsd instead.
