3.3 mount problem

I just recently installed IRIX 3.3 on a personal iris. Everything went
smooth until I tried to mount other file systems. Doing a standard mount
(like in the manual) returned this:
# /etc/mount csiris3:/usr/share /usr/share
mount: csiris3:/usr/share on /usr/share: Invalid argument
mount: giving up on:
/usr/share
csiris3 is still running 3.2 but I have added sgi_mountd 391004 mount showmount
to YP master server. I get the same invalid argument when trying to mount
SunOS 4.1 filesystems. I've checked most of the basic things: /usr/share
is there, csiris3 is exporting /usr/share, rpc knows sgi_mountd, etc.
I didn't see Invalid argument under possible error messages in the manual.
I also tried faking the mount to see what happens:
# /etc/mount -o ro,soft -f csiris3:/usr/share /usr/share
# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/root / efs rw,raw=/dev/rroot 0 0
/dev/usr /usr efs rw,raw=/dev/rusr 0 0
/debug /debug dbg rw 1 2
csiris3:/usr/share /usr/share nfs ro,soft 0 0
so I am not sure where the trouble lies. It seems like the 3.3 mount
might be passing a new option to the 3.2 mount that causes it to fail.
I have a call into the hotline, but they said they are backed up and
I haven't had a return call yet. I was hoping someone may have seen
this or might have an idea of something to try.
Thanks,
