mount Linux NFS. rpc.statd is not running

mount Linux NFS. rpc.statd is not running

I have Ubuntu 12.04 as the NFS server. The clients are Linux. My /etc/exports file has 1 line,
 /home  *(rw,async,no_subtree_check) 
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status` shows that the NFS share is working as expected. The problem is that whenever I attempt to mount the NFS share from another Linux host, stdout says
"mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking"
"mount.nfs: use '-o nolock'...or start statd"
ps shows that rpc.statd is already running, so why do they say to "start statd"? I tried rebooting but the problem persists.
Including their -o nolock suggestion allows for the mount NFS to occur, but then the mounted NFS becomes read-only. The /etc/exports file asks for rw.
How do you start statd? Is the NFS client or server missing some configuration?
