from /usr/include/sys/errno.h
#define EACCES          13              /* Permission denied */
from /usr/include/nfs/nfs.h
        NFSERR_ACCES=EACCES,            /* Permission denied */

In short, you need to have root access to the nfs server's partitions in
order to login as root.  This is a hemeroid.   

So re-export from the server with -root=hostname1,hostname2,hostname3...
for whatever hosts you want to be able to log in as root.
