I don't think exportfs is used by any modern version of Linux (I know it
isn't in RH5).  You need to:

1) RTFM ("man exports", "man mountd", "man nfsd" for starts)

2) Make sure that rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are running (you did install
   the nfs-server RPM didn't you?)

3) Send a SIGHUP to rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd whenever you make a change
   to /exports (or mount your cd locally on the linux server).
