Does adding a no_root_squash (like below) change anything?
/directory host(no_root_squash)
Old versions of nfsd used to have "no_root_squash" by default, but
more recent ones don't (that's a lot more secure). When root_squash
is in effect, any request from uid=0 will be mapped to uid=nobody,
and thus root isn't allowed to access the directory.

While you are at it, why not tell the version of nfsd (netstd)?
