ReadyNAS NV+ and VMWARE ESX NFS Share

I'm trying to create a NFS DataStore on my ReadyNAS NV+ with ESX 3.5

I'm using RAIDiator 4.01c1-p2 and have created an NFS Share (VMStore) with default access of Read/Write with Root Privilege-enable hosts of the ESX Server (10.10.10.181)

On the ESX Server I've created a VMKernal port (10.10.10.181) on the Service Console virtual switch (0)

Using the IC - I navigate to the ESX Server - Configuration - Storage - Add Storage - Network File System - ip address 10.10.10.150 (ReadyNAS NV+), Folder /VMStore, DataStore NFSStore

I receive the error:
Error during the configuration of the host: NFS Error : Unable to Mount filesystem : Unable to connect to NFS server

From the ESX console I can ping the ReadyNAS NV+ successfully.

Any ideas what I need to do in order to mount the share as an NFS datastore ?
