[BusyBox] NFS mounting problem

Here is the problem:

# mount -t nfs -n -o nolock,ro nfs-server:/exported_dir /mnt

returns:

nfs warning: mount version newer than kernel
NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
mount: Mounting nfs-server:/exported_dir on /mnt failed: Invalid
argument

Running the non-busybox mount with the same command line from the same
machine works.  I'm using busybox v0.60.2 with kernel v2.2.19 -- haven't
tried under 2.4.

I've been through the lists and have seen this thread several times, but
not many solutions.  Has anyone had success with nfs mounting?  Is the
busybox mount syntax different from standard mount?  Is any other
version of busybox capable of doing this?

Thanks in advance for any help,

-Josh
