It mounts, but then any attempt to access that directory (beyond cd'ing
into it) gives an "Operation not permitted" error. I'm doing this as
root, of course.

What happens if you mount your NFS server and then, as a normal user, try to access that directory?

Be aware that trying to use NFS while logged in as root is likely to have problems, because to compensate for its broken security model NFS gives *less* privileges to someone logged in as root on a local machine than they do to any other user.

Also, be aware that Linux NFS is known to have interoperability problems and is generally considered a very poor implementation.

(What would it take to get OpenAFS into the Darwin distribution, so it'll eventually show up in Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server?)
