I am trying to set up the Discourse development environment using these [instructions][1]. However when I run Vagrant I get the error:

&gt; NFS is reporting that your exports file is invalid. Vagrant does
this check before making any changes to the file. Please correct
the issues below and execute &quot;vagrant reload&quot;:
&gt;
&gt; Can&#39;t open /etc/exports

I checked, and I don&#39;t have an etc/exports folder, so I created one and ran `vagrant reload`. This got me:

I am on a Mac (OS X 10.6.8). How do I fix this? I tried searching for the original error message, and all I found was a few repositories containing the Vagrant source code that throws it.
