   It sounds like a permissions problem, maybe in NFS, or maybe on machine A's file system.

If you are logged in as root on machine B (assumed yes, since you are mounting a fs), try adding 'no_root_squash' to your /etc/exports on machine A (and restart/reload the nfs server)

On machine A, is you log in as a regular user, can that user see any/all the files on the NTFS partitions?  I think you may also see this behavior if "other" permissions are missing (r)ead and e(x)ecute on the directories.
