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.
