You know, I think this is a record. It has been at least two or three
months since I have answered this one. Now there probably will be four
within a week.

Let's read the exports(5) manpage very carefully,

    "Each line in the file (other than comment lines that begin with a #)
     specifies the mount point(s) and export flags within one local server
     filesystem for one or more hosts.  A host may be specified only once for
     each local filesystem on the server..."

OK? You just specified the same filesystem to be exported to a single
host on _three_ lines. As you saw, it does not like that. You want to
say,

  /usr/src /usr/obj /usr/ports -maproot=0 guest1

And all should be well.
