I'm going out on a limb here, but it's worth asking if the spacing in
/etc/exports is "sane".  It's notoriously easy to misconfigure NFS due
to an errant space, as whitespace is significant in exports(5).

 	/home	192.168.1.100(no_root_squash,rw)

means something very different from

 	/home	192.168.1.100 (no_root_squash,rw)

So, is it possible that there's a misplaced space, anywhere on the line?

You might also get a "sanity check" with the command exportfs(8).  This
will parse your /etc/exports as NFS sees it and report back to you how
NFS interprets it.

If those don't turn up any leads, then I don't immediately have any
ideas that spring out.

If you're going into sanity check mode, it never hurts to temporarily 
throw out your firewall rulesets on each machine (but I don't really see 
how that could be an issue in this case).
