Hi,
Thanks Raj and Prabhu for your speedy reply,
It works with the no_root_squash option, later
I may need to think about security.

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).
cheers,
