You don't need to specify "rw" as such --- it is the default, which is 
why you get an error message when you attempt to do so.

See exports(5) for more information about the configuration file.  You 
don't say much about whom should have access, and to what, but I suspect 
you want to either use "-maproot=user" or "-public" or ? ....
