[ale] Writing to NFS

[Dow Hurst]

I've never seen that needed.  Are your UIDs and GIDs on each machine 
identical?  You could remove the noexec option as you probably do want 
to run scripts and such from that nfs mount.  I've done this type mount 
before but had the mount point owned by root so the local user couldn't 
remove it.
