If the ownership of the NFS exports is "root:root" and the
permissions do not include any world read/execute on the dir's
then you will have a problem.  NFS export by default doesn't
allow clients to use "root" priv's.

The other problem you might face is that the user/group UID/GID's
are not the same between the client and the server.
Also check to see that you do not have any firewalling or NAT between 
the two boxes.
