It is common for NFS servers to disallow root access from clients and
you need root access for that chown to succeed (but not subsequently).
On a linux server, you would export with the no_root_squash option.
Other servers may have a different way to control this - or you may be
able to set ownership some other way, but if the script is failing at
this step getting root access at least during the install would be the
simplest way.
