Try upgrading your mount utility package to the latest and greatest. Failing that, make sure that you both ends have agreed on the proper NFS version. I believe there is a mount option to force this.

Is that the client or the server? Are nfsd and portmap running on the server? What is in the server's /etc/exports, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny? It says "mount version older than kernel", have you tried to find a newer version of mount?
