Okay, no root=. :-)

Without the root= option this behavior is expected. If you are running
sudo/pfexec you are becoming root on the local machine, but since the share is
exported without the root= option, the local root user becomes some anonymous
user (usually nobody) on the NFS server. And since nobody have no granted
access to the parent directory, then getcwd() fails.
