The problem is that root may not edit files that have been NFS mounted.
This is a security feature. Root has becomes "nobody" on an nfs mounted
filesystem, and cannot change anything. If you want to edit the files
you need to be on the nfs host.

        # share -F nfs -o rw,root=<hostname of 4.1.3 machine> /nms

String multiple hostname names with a ":", i.e.

   rw=hostname:hostname1:...,root=hostname:hostname1:...
