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.
