That's what the image you boot on is also doing. From your logs:
08:21 INFO: Mounting Network share (192.168.100.3:/DiskD) on /tmp/isodir...
08:21 INFO: Mounting Remote image nezamysl-1.iso in /Images/nezamysl on /mnt/cdrom in loopback

So what happens when you don't type export but just iso at boot time.

>- start mr-mount-me

You shouldn't have to do that.

THe last times I have made checks with that it was working at that point.
I fixed recently a case where a different version of NFS was used at bakcup and restore, which was creating an issue.

So you may want to try the latest test version to see if it's fixed if that's also your case.
