my man page lists "facility" instead of "kind".

NAME
        mountd - NFS mount daemon

SYNOPSIS
        /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd [ -f exports-file ] [ -d facility ] [ -P port ] [ -Dhnprv ] [ --debug facility ]
        [ --exports-file=file ] [ --help ] [ --allow-non-root ] [ --re-export ] [ --no-spoof-trace ] [ --version ]


        -d or --debug
               Log  each  transaction  verbosely to standard error. Valid log facilities are call for the logging of all
               calls, auth for client authentication, fhcache for operations of the file handle  cache,  and  rmtab  for
               manipulation  of  /etc/rmtab.   By  default,  log output is sent to syslogd unless the daemon runs in the
               foreground.

so...

   --debug all
   --debug auth
   --debug fhcache
   --debug rmtab

   should work.  They do for me.

the rtfm boy,
   Keith
