http://serverfault.com/questions/347163/mounting-nfsv4-share-from-debian-linux-6-to-freebsd-9-rc3-server-requires-stron

I've linked my problem from ServerFault, gist of it is as follows:

A FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE box I have does not allow NFSv4 mounts from other machines on the network, nor to itself using sec=sys.

mount returns "mount_nfs: /path/dir, : Permission denied" when run from the server (attempting to mount a nfs-exported directory), no log entries that I can find. Attempting to mount from a Debian 6.0 box gives an "Access denied by server" message and "RPC: server requires stronger authentication" message in that machine's syslog. 

Using NFSv3 does work in that I can mount directories. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up a NFS share in /etc/exports or via ZFS, setting sec=sys as an option
Mount the share over the network using -o sec=sys,nfsv4.
