In article <8902031448.AA11583@rufus.math.nwu.edu> you write:

On the NFS write error 13 it has to do with the /etc/exports file.  You do
not have an entry for the client that you just added.  After making an
entry as per the man page (section 5) you must rerun /etc/exportfs.  There
is more info on exportfs(8) in section 8 of the manual.  If you have any
problems, send mail or call.

Good luck,
