read-write without root squashing and mounted it read-write on another
computer on the LAN.  But when I try to write anything to the mounted
filesystem on the client I get the error message "Read-only file system."
It doesn't matter whether I'm a regular user or whether I'm root, I can't
write anything to the mount.  Even when I mount the export locally I can't
write to it.  I ensured that the export is indeed mounted rw by typing
'mount' to list the mounts.

This is a long shot.... are the permissions of the directories your trying
to write to correct?
