The interesting bit here is that the sockets all seem to connect to port
55201 on the remote host, if I'm reading these traces correctly. What's
listening on that port on the server?

This might give some helpful info:

    $ rpcinfo -p <NFS servername>

Also, what NFS version are you using to mount here? Your fstab entries
suggest that you're using the default version (for whatever distro this
is), but have you (e.g.) set up nfsmount.conf to default to v3 on this
box?
