	Yep. I saw exactly this problem getting my Diskless box up and
running. Try adding the "no_root_squash" option to your server
/etc/exports. Thus...

/opt/utilbackup/wab wab.util(rw,no_root_squash)

	Someone else will have to explain the security implications of
this, for, I don't think that the "no_root_squash" option is a good idea.
Perhaps scp and ssh could also be of use for you?
