Unlikely, the source of such a problem is probably that the order
of mounted filesystems has changed and a different fsid was given
to your exported fs.

One way to fix it is to make sure that your fses are mounted in the
right order each time.  Or you can do a hack whereby exporting loads
the fsid from a persistent file in the filesystem.
