This just came out of thin air: I wanted to cd into this dir:

and got a "permission denied" error.

The group ids of schrcknt match on server and client, I am in that group still can't dive. As root all fine.
It's been working just fine and I don't remember changing anything.
Pointers?

Don't do this.

Exporting files as root is fraught with issues. Lots of NFS implementation map root owned files to nobody:nobody by default. In addition, a root-owned export allows someone with access on another machine to drop arbitrarily permissioned files into your NFS directory (aka. they can create an SUID script to give themselves access).
