does /mnt/home exist? if not... 'mkdir /mnt/home'

can users 'write' to /mnt/home? if not 'chmod 777 /mnt/home'

both client and server should be running portmap service...

/sbin/service portmap restart
chkconfig portmap on

Firewalls will be a problem and if you are running a firewall on the NFS
server, let us know and we will give you a way to deal with that.
