I don't.  I wondered whether it might be that you're mounting a
filesystem called '/' and '/something', but if you get reads working
from the '/something' filesystem and you are sure these are through nfs
and not via rsh or ftp then that's unlikely.

What does nfsAuthUnixShow tell you about the uid/gid/gids of the target?
Are they actually set to who you think they are?  If not, you might
expect that behaviour if it's allowed read-only access to the directory.
