Can't NFS mount linux drive on OSX

So, I'm running SuSe 9.0 with a beefy 250G secondary drive. I also have
a iMac running OSX 10.3.6. I use the Mac for it's video editing apps
(not to mention the fact that it is UNIX .... forget this Microsoft
mickey mouse crap).

I'm trying to NFS mount the drive from the linux box to the mac, to be
able to drag and drop files while working. Right now I have to manually
FTP, which isn't the end of the world, but gets to be a pain.

So, I launch YAST->Network Services->NFS Server

- It asks me if I'd like to "Start NFS Server" to which I say yes.
- It then brings up a list of directories to export, to which I add
the correct "/share" directory (which is where I have the massive drive
mounted via /etc/fstab.
- When the "/share/" directory is selected in the top list, the bottom
table has two columns: "Hosts wildcard" and "Options". The data for
this drive is "*" and "ro, root_squash,sync" respectively.

I then go over to the mac and try to mount the drive:
mount <hostname>:/share <local directory>

and I get this error...

mount_nfs: /Users/ryan/linux: Operation not permitted
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you plan to write to this shared disk, you'll need to replace "ro"
(which stands for "read-only") with "rw" ("read-write").

You should be super-user (root) to be able to mount remote file system.
Try to prepend with sudo, or "su - root; mount ...".
