I used the same exact command above (the second one that removes an
export) after restarting ganesha, and it just worked fine. I use GPFS
FSAL (neither gluster nor VFS).

Not sure why you need to use DisplayExport before using RemoveExport.
Try to trace 'DBUS' component at FULL_DEBUG (or maybe everything at
FULL_DEBUG) and post the log. The error you reported means we are NOT
responding to the dbus message which is very odd!

Reagrds, Malahal.
