By default (for security), root on the client machine cannot write to
a remotely mounted NFS share. To allow root to write add a
no_root_squash option to the servers /etc/exports file like so:
/usr/local/nfstest 192.168.0.247(rw,no_root_squash)
For more details read the man page for exports (man exports).
