If you notice the kernel is attempting to mount "/tftpboot/158.42.50.66"
while you have "/home/ddandres/export" as your only export.

What you need to do is set a symbolic link from /tftpboot/158.42.50.66
to /home/ddandres/export.  (Depending on the nfs server that might be
enough..  if not you will need to add "/tftpboot/158.42.50.66" to your
/etc/exports file..
