I am fishing a bit here, but I have no_root_squash as an option in

exports (server) file. When the client tries to mount the directory
automatically at boot time through the entry in /etc/fstab I believe the
request is identified as coming from root. See the "User ID Mapping"
section in man (5) exports about this.
If you have ever made that userid stuff work properly you are a better (or more
patient) person than I. I think the root_id_squash prevents i/o requests from
root, not the mount itself. At least that's the behavior I notice, root can read
if public read is set, but can't write a 644 file.
