Are you exporting them read-only?  Are your clients attempting to mount
them read-only?

If you run "showmount -e whatevertheremotehostnameis" on your clients
(or whatever the cooresponding command is) do they show the export
list on the FreeBSD machine?  What about if you run "showmount -e localhost"
on the FreeBSD machine, does it show the exported CDROM?
