What are the permissions on /tmp/tivo set to? (ie. show the output
from ls -lad /tmp/tivo) -- since you're almost certainly accessing
this directory as root, it is likely that the NFS server's root_squash
option is preventing you from writing to the directory (run 'man
exports' and look for 'root_squash' to find out more).

To fix this, in /etc/exports, change your options from:

/tmp/tivo tivohostname(rw)

to:

/tmp/tivo tivohostname(rw,no_root_squash)

Restart nfsd, and then try remounting that directory.
