NFS brings in another whole level of permissions checks at the NFS
Server. Often NFS has "root-squash" enabled which means that a root user
on a client does NOT get equivalent root privileges when accessing files
on the server. Try logging in as root on the client and try to "rmdir
folder" on the same NFS folder and see what happens.
The correct way to fix this is to not run the server as root.
If however you insist on bypassing these checks, /etc/exports will need
to have a line like this on the server:
/video0 *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
Then get the NFS server to reload config, remount the dir on the client
and restart VDR too.
