dude, entries in the /etc/exports are exported with root_squashing turned on, this is so that requests from the root user on a client machine are denied root access to root-owned files on the server machines. so the client root is not confused with the server root. these requests are mapped instead to a uid such as 65534. otherwise, you run a security risk because you can be defeated with the no_root_squash option, but you shouldn't do it like that.

your NFS server needs to be configured correctly to allow you to make changes. look for the "no_root_squash" attributes and make the changes
