wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock - nfs
After trying to mount an nfs file system on my Crunchbang I got this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 10.1.1.1:/home/nfs,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
All of this was because crunchbang does not come with nfs-common installed, so if run into this problem, run:
sudo aptitude install nfs-common
If you are working with Arch Linux, type this:
sudo pacman -S nfs-utils
And the problem will go.

superb..solved my problem
Nice to hear that!
Kubuntu 9.10 failed to mount NFS share and this solved the problem.
Many Thanks from Israel!
