That query was from Cliff, since normally you don't need to mess with 
exportfs. But I guessed that it must have been deleted somehow on your 
system.

Maybe another app saw a conflict and removed exportfs...or it didn't get 
installed the first time around. Sounds weird anyway.

At least reinstalling fixes it. Hopefully it was not a dependency 
conflict or you might get the same problem again in the future. I have 
no idea what it could be though, if that is the case.
