Your problem sounds a lot like one I just survived.
Are you running Woody rev0? If not, skip the following.
install packages nfs-common and, on the machine that is to be server
of file, nfs-user-server.
create a file, /etc/exports, on the server machine, that grants access
to a particular mount point for the other machine. e.g. a line like
/home/auser/export the.other.machine(rw,no_root_squash)
read carefully documentation about /etc/exports, so that you
understand what the magic words 'rw' and 'no_root_squash' do, and
appreciate the danger(s) in each.
