You have to specify _mount points of your local filesystems_
Subdirectories will not work. ALso, AFAIU, to change a configuration
(add-remove FS) you need to unmount/mount the FS. If you want to start
(stop) exporting /usr, for instance, you'll need to reboot (or
shutdown).  (I'll be glad to know, I'm wrong here)
