No, the problem wasnt the nfs server init script, that worked perfectly, 
and in the script I'm using that I wrote to replace nfsserver i'm using 
the system's init script as well. The problem was with the nfsserver 
script improperly thinking that nfs was active, even when it wasnt. The 
path that nfs stores its state data (/var/lib/nfs) didnt even exist and 
it still said it was running. That was the problem.
