Perhaps you need to put no_root_squash in the options in the exports file, eg / mylinuxbox(rw,no_root_squash) By default (root_squash), the NFS server remaps root (UID 0) to nobody, so that remote root users get no priviledges. That's so that somebody can't come along with eg a linux boot floppy, mount a remote NFS share and start trashing things.
