NFS dilemma: only one-sided file sharing

[Eri Mendz <jerimed@myrealbox.com>]

Hello group,

My problem is exactly as stated: NFS is working one-way only. I can put
files in the server and client can access it but readonly. Doing the 
other way around i cannot do, i get permission denied anytime i transfer 
file[s] to the server mount share. Here is my setup:

NFS server:
Slackware 10

# /etc/exports
# 192.168.0.3 is MEPIS box
/nfs    192.168.0.3(rw,anonuid=1000,anongid=100)

# /etc/hosts.allow
portmap :       192.168.0.3
lockd   :       192.168.0.3
mountd  :       192.168.0.3
rquotad :       192.168.0.3
statd   :       192.168.0.3

# /etc/hosts.deny
portmap:ALL
lockd:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL

NFS client:
MEPIS 2004.01

# /etc/fstab
# nfs entry
alpha:/nfs /mepisNFS nfs hard,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0

My target is to transfer my config files from client to server. Also i 
dont know why the files in server mount share is readonly whereas i set 
it rw in /etc/exports file.

rpcinfo -p of client:

    program vers proto   port
     100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
     100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
     100021    1   udp  32768  nlockmgr
     100021    3   udp  32768  nlockmgr
     100021    4   udp  32768  nlockmgr
     100021    1   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
     100021    3   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
     100021    4   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
     100024    1   udp    962  status
     100024    1   tcp    965  status

And for the server:

    program vers proto   port
     100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
     100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
     100011    1   udp    920  rquotad
     100011    2   udp    920  rquotad
     100011    1   tcp    923  rquotad
     100011    2   tcp    923  rquotad
     100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
     100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
     100021    1   udp   1026  nlockmgr
     100021    3   udp   1026  nlockmgr
     100021    4   udp   1026  nlockmgr
     100005    1   udp    932  mountd
     100005    1   tcp    935  mountd
     100005    2   udp    932  mountd
     100005    2   tcp    935  mountd
     100005    3   udp    932  mountd
     100005    3   tcp    935  mountd
     100024    1   udp    938  status
     100024    1   tcp    941  status

I dont know if nfs-utils client-side got something to do with the 
problem for i cant find it in mepis box. This is my first time setting 
up NFS and clueless where to go next. I appreciate any help you good 
people can provide. TIA.
