[PLUG] Stupid NFS question

My laptop is 192.168.0.155 and has a 3 TB external drive "Movies"
mounted at /media/jjj/Movies. My desktop is 192.168.0.146. I want to
mount "Movies" on the desktop at /media, but manually, not
automatically. 

I have it almost set up. On the desktop showmount -e 192.168.0.155
shows the laptop share. On the laptop /etc/exports has the line:

/media/jjj/Movies 192.168.0.155(rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)

On the desktop when I try to mount the share:

sudo mount 192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies /media/jjj

I get:

mount.nfs: access denied by server [the laptop] while mounting
192.168.0.155:/media/jjj/Movies

Somehow I need to get the desktop to communicate my laptop password to
the laptop. Or is there a simpler way to do this? Note that security is
not an issue here.
