Ug, it never fails that right after you post you figure out the problem. It
had to do with multiple PTR's in DNS but only one of the entries having root
squashed in the exports file and I think with how the Netapp caches NIS
since this is all controlled via netgroups. Anyway removing the 2nd PTR and
flushing caches has restored behavior to the norm.
