Hi Mark

If you are not using the "no_root_squash" option in /etc/exports, you will
find that any access you do as root gets translated ("squashed") to the
"nobody" user - which does not have access to other users' files of
course.

Change the (rw) to (rw,no_root_squash) to "fix"[0] that.

[0] of course whether it's a fix or opening a potential security hole is
    debatable
