		The problem, correctly named by Chris Siebenmann
	(cks@white.toronto.edu) was the fact we had /var/diskless/dlenv0
	and /var/diskless/dlclient0 on the same physical partition
	of our disk and the /etc/exports files must be modified to 
	allow root access to the /var file system. - Chris has written a nice guide to installing DEC diskless environments on non-standard DEC systems.

		DEC support in Atlanta had half the answer which was
	enough to work the rest out. Chris's note to me confirmed what
	we had done and added some more info.

What worked for me - The 'nobody' option on the first 3 lines interfered
so I named the client specifically:(All 3 entries seemed necessary to get things to work.)

/var -n -r=0  strato
/var/diskless/dlenv0 -n -r=0  strato
/var/dlclient0/dlclient0 -n -r=0  strato

/var/diskless/dlclient0/strato.root -r=0 strato
/var/diskless/dlclient0/strato.swap -r=0 strato
/var/diskless/dlenv0/root1.vax/usr strato


Thanks for responding, Chris
