Things (from a confessed non-expert) to check:

  - does the server export the file system as read-write to this
    client?

  - does the server implement some sort of user-based security?

If you really want experts to take a look at this, I *strongly*
recommend looking at [email protected] instead.  The
networking community doesn't deal with NFS, despite the "N" in the
name.

I'm not an NFS expert, but I *think* users need to have the
"sys_mount" privilege in order to mount file systems on their own.

It is indeed complicated.  The experts on RBAC, LP, and related
technologies are located on [email protected].
