The other thing to note is the squash option.  Note above, everything is 
squashed, and in the original e-mail, you were executing things as root 
(so you were likely squashed to user "nobody").

Check the nfs server's export command...if you want root to be able to 
do things as root, then add "no_root_squash" to the export options line, 
as in:

  /storage 172.16.61.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,insecure)

vs. something like:

  /scratch	172.16.0.0/24(rw,async,no_subtree_check,root_squash)
