NFS statd error

[jmack1010]

When I try to start the nfs service I get the following error:

* Starting NFS statd ...
* Error starting NFS statd [ !! ]
* Exporting NFS directories ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS daemon ... [ ok ]
* Starting NFS mountd ... [ ok ]

I have tried reemerging nfs-utils.

This is the pertinent kernel info:

# Network File Systems
#
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y
# CONFIG_NFS_V4 is not set
# CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO is not set
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V2_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL=y

Kernel: Gentoo Sources 2.6.15
glibc 2.3.5-r3
gcc 3.4.6

I appreciate any leads any one can offer.

Thank you,

Joe
