Using CD-ROM on NeXT over NFS from PC

I have a CD-ROM drive attached to my NeXT Station.  I am using FTP  
Software's PC/TCP and I have IDRIVE installed, version 1.05.  I can export  
the CD-ROM directory, and then using the IDMNT command from the PC can  
mount the directory as a drive on the PC.  I can then switch to that drive  
from the PC, and can change directories, and can get a DIR of the files on  
the CD-ROM from the PC.  Problem is when I go to COPY any files, it dies.   
It just sits there.  The only time I ever did get a message it said  
something about an 'Invalid Function' and pointed to the .BAT file I was  
trying to copy from the CD-ROM.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have tried  
making it ReadOnly and also ReadWrite from the export end of things.   
Could it be the block size it is trying to use for disk reads/writes?

Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated........
