Ok, thanks for your help, a little more info for you, if I mount the root drive on the remote system, I can write to /junk, /junk/mnt, but when I try to write to /junk/mnt/hdb1 I get the denied....the hdb1 is a second hdd in the system, does that make any difference??

Good luck with your NFS stuff...

I have to disappear for about two hours so I won't be responding to your mail messages.

BUT have you looked through NFS-HOWTO
