Thanks guys,
I tried both suggestions.
The toggle of NFS for Home folders did not change anything.
The showmount gives reasurance that /home is being recognised for NFS.
Output below.
jim@WS-2 ~/Desktop $ showmount -e 192.168.0.xxx
Export list for 192.168.0.xxx:
/data/Pictures *
/home *
/data/Videos 127.0.0.1
/data/Music 127.0.0.1
/data/Documents 127.0.0.1
/data/Backup 127.0.0.1
< after toggle of NFS for Home Folders >
jim@WS-2 ~/Desktop $ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.xxx:/home/jim /mnt/NFS
[sudo] password for jim:
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.215:/home/jim
jim@WS-2 ~/Desktop $
