I hope you have read 
http://resmedicinae.sourceforge.net/manuals/apw_linux/ch06s06.html. Sorry, 
only in german.

First of all, did you export with the right permissions?
[exported directory say /opt] [hostname or IP-number of client](rw,sync)

Then: biggest problem: 
user-name on client must be identical to user-name on server
user-id on client must be identical to user-id on server
group-name on client must be identical to group-name on server
group-id on client must be identical to group-id on server
Otherwise you can't do anything on server.

Beware: SUSe begins with user-ids 500, Debian begins with user-ids 1000. 
Sometimes you will find program-gids intermangled with group-ids, so that you 
get effective user:group 1020:1021. If server has 1020:1020, it won't work.
