How do I set up my nfs on my Drobo FS so that I can connect to it from my Mac using the NFS protocol?

I have downloaded and installed Unfsd program from the DroboApps page. My exports file looks like this:

/mnt/DroboFS/Shares 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)

I try to connect to the share by hitting Ctrl+K in Finder and the using

nfs://drobo-fs.local/Shares

as server address. But when I click Connect all that happens is that the Connect to Server window flashes shortly, and well, that's all.

I have tried removing the /Shares part, using /Public and casing drobo-fs.local as Drobo-FS.local, but it's all with the same result. I have also tried using /mnt/DroboFS/Shares *(rw,no_root_squash) in the exports file. I restart the service using the command ./service.sh restart.
