Problems properly setting up /etc/exports

I've  got a FBSD 6 machine built from a 6.2 PRERELEASE set
of sources
that I need to use as an NFS server for some other similar
machines.
If I specify the machines by host name, or IP address in
/etc/exports,
I can mount the requisite directories from the test client.

However, I really need to be able to allow 2 whole 1/2 class
C's
to mount these directories. My reading of the /etc/exports
man page 
leads me to believe that I should be able to use a line like
this:

/usr/ports/distfiles       maproot=root -network
aaa.bbb.ccc.0 -mask 255.255.255.128

When I do this, and start mountd with the -d flag, I get:

ountd: getting export list
mountd: got line /usr/ports/distfiles       maproot=root
-network aaa.bbb.ccc.0 -mask
255.255.255.128mountd: making new ep
fs=0x3e331e2f,0xe47d1981

But when I try to mount from a client n this network, it
reports
premission denied.

I also tried putting a line like this in /etc/exports:

/usr/ports/distfiles       maproot=root -network mine

and putting the following in /etc/networks:

mine            aaa.bbb

But I still get the same error.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this line in /etc/exports: 
/usr /usr/ports /usr/ports/distfiles -maproot=root 
-network aaa.bbb.ccc -mask 255.255.255.128

Do you have something like this in /etc/rc.conf:
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r"

That should help you.

Thanks.

Turns out I needed a ":" after the maproot clause.
