What I found that worked was installing: ltsp-server-standalone

Then purge ltsp-server-standalone, to install ltsp-server

I only then modified the
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default file

Only add IPAPPEND 3, nothing else. Add it to the end of the default file

DO NOT CHANGE the port numbers (as listed in the proxydhcp page). The
port numbers for the default file and the nbd-server config file should
be removed if they exist.

Using the proxyDHCP page from the ubuntu ltsp website doesn't work for
12.04. The dnsmasq ltsp.conf file from the ubuntu proxydhcp page still
works for the i386 clients.(just remember to change your dhcp-range for
the range on your network.

It may also help users to remove quiet splash and plymouth=force to get
a regular client console display. You can also just hit escape during
the splash screen to see the console (which effectively does the same as
removing quiet splash, but for only that one time bootup)

As far as the exports goes, leave it as is. There is nothing wrong with
it.  you can't grep nbd-server for port 2000, since nbd-server doesn't
use port 2000 anymore. If you use port 2000 it will give you file
permission problems, (something like Socket Error: connection refused.,
or Error: Not enough cliserv_magic.)

niplas:
Have you tried skipping the exports option and using oldstyle=true? Then putting all you configuration data into the config file?
If my memory serves, you can put the exports data into the config file  and remove the export option. so that nbd-server doesn't say that exports don't exist.

Hope this helps everyone.
