You have to specify root access on the mounted drive, which
is dangerous to security, if your scripts run as root.
Check the manpage for an example.  Should be something like
this:
In /etc/exports or Linux equivalent on the CLIENT:

/foo/home  rw=server.foo.bar:server2.foo.bar\
             access=server.foo.bar:server2.foo.bar\
                root=server.foo.bar

Under IRIX that would export /foo/home to both server and
server2, provide access to /foo/home only by those machines,
and allow root access by server.foo.bar but not
server2.foo.bar.  Watch the line continuation "\" so that
there are no spaces before it.

Anyone want to critique this for a Linux based solution?  I
haven't had the chance to do this under Linux...
