Someone mentioned this a while ago. I've been getting the same
thing. It's due to the standard /etc/exports file which comes with the
networking software. It's full of commented text, the script in cops
tries to parse it and can't. It says
Warning! NFS file system exported with no restrictions!
eleven times. There are two spaces between system and exported
because that's where the name of the filesystem in quuestion wouuld be
printed. Just an FYI.

ObBug Well maybe, the default /etc/exports (and most of the other
networking files) start with a #.
