Symbolic link problems

I swear I have done this once and was successful, but I’m trying to move a few images to an external USB drive for the time being.

Running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

I have added this to my /etc/exports:
/mnt/USB/COPY *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

I have also added the .mntcheck file to /mnt/USB/COPY

Then I move the images, and link them back so I have this on the server:

When I run a debug operation on a client I get this:
[IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/r2q1j5.png[/IMG]

I’ve made sure that permissions are the same, and now I’m out of ideas.

Thoughts?

The fog system you’re running does not have a mount point labeled as:

/mnt/USB

You need to, in the debug, run:
[code]mkdir /mnt/USB
mount /dev/<usbdevicehere> /mnt/USB
[/code]

All should work then.
