/ is root protected...
am guessing dist.engr:/test is not root owned ?
so you can mount it and see its contents...
what is your dist.engr:/etc/exports look like ??
i use something like:
# only machines you want to see /
/ trustedmachine.domain.com(ro,no_root_squash)
/test domain.com
am guessing you have a directory permission problem that needs to be
changed at dist.engr..
have fun
