This problem occurs because /tmp/CHORD/root is not exported to
localhost.

This might not work in f/tmp/CHORD/root and /tmp/CHORD/root/usr1 are
on the same physical file system.  In that case you probably should
just export the parent directory.  It depends on the specifics of your
NFS server implementation.

This is the problem, because /tmp/CHORD/root needs to be exported to
localhost.  So sfsrwsd can't mount /tmp/CHORD/root, because it's not
exported.
