No go there either.  On the client I get a "mountd 
'10.2.3.1:/exports/rb153-sept', error=13 cannot mount root, error=13".  
On the server, the logs report "mount request denied from 10.2.3.253 for 
/exports/rb153-sept".

Here's the line from my exports file:
/exports/rb153-sept -maproot=root:wheel 10.2.3.253

And my DHCP configuration:

host rb153-boot {
    hardware ethernet 00:0C:42:0D:2E:59;
    fixed address 10.2.3.253;
    option host-name "rb153";
    filename "rb153-netbsd";
    next-server 10.2.3.1;
    option root-path "/exports/rb153-sept";
}

host rb153-netbsd {
    hardware ethernet 0C:14:6F:14:72:C8;
    fixed address 10.2.3.253;
    next-server 10.2.3.1;
    option root-path "/exports/rb153-sept";
}


When I change the rb153-netbsd host to this:

host rb153-netbsd {
    hardware ethernet 0C:14:6F:14:72:C8;
    fixed address 10.2.3.253;
    option host-name "rb153";
    filename "rb153-netbsd";
    next-server 10.2.3.1;
    option root-path "/exports/rb153-sept";
}

The client gives the following error:  mountd 
'10.2.3.1:/exports/rb153-sept', error=13 no file system for admsw0 
cannot mount root, error=79
