  First of all, you did not misconfigure your desired system of a user 
mounting a single personal volume which has a link to a public volume.
The GatorBox does not currently support symbolic links.  There is really
no way to accomplish your goal without mounting two volumes.

  Secondly, there is really no concept of a superuser in NFS.  When you
mount an NFS volume as the root user, you effectively have the privileges
of the nobody (uid=-2) user.  This is not just a GatorBox thing it is
part of the NFS spec.

  As far as your trouble copying from AppleSingle volumes to AppleDouble
volumes, I would like to hear more.  Please send me emall about this.
Thanks!
