I'm trying to share a directory on my NAS device(WD Mybook WE) with NFS to another machine on my local network. The directory on the NAS device looks like this:

drwxr-x---   15 git      git          4096 Nov 17 01:05 git/

And id's of the user git on the NAS device is like this:

[root@myhost DataVolume]# id git
uid=505(git) gid=505(git)

I played with many different parameters in the /etc/exports file and this is what I got there currently:

/DataVolume/git 192.168.0.20(async,rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

On the client side I have the user git and group git with the same id's to match the ones on the server.

user@myclient:~$ id git
uid=505(git) gid=505(git) groups=505(git)

I mount the directory with:

sudo mount myhost:/DataVolume/git -t nfs git/

and the mounted directory looks like:

drwxr-x--- 15 git    git       4096 Nov 17 01:05 git

After these steps I can't seem to cd to that directory with any user, including git and root. I am getting a Permission denied error.

Thanks in advance for any help.
