I saw this happen on one server when we switched from the user-space
nfs daemon to the kernel server. We had to fix it ASAP, so we just
switched back to the user-space server an all was well again, so
I never discovered the root of the problem.

In general, knfsd is a lot more anal about permission checking.

Check /var/log/* on your server for more clues.
