Keep in mind that the root user isn't mapped across an NFS mount by default:
In the absence of -maproot and -mapall options, remote accesses by root
will result in using a credential of -2:-2. All other users will be
mapped to their remote credential.
If you want a remote system to have root access to the file system you *MUST*
explicity configure this.
