Check your permissions on the various executables in your image on the NFS server. This sounds familiar. I had ftp'd my source in place and none of the files had the execute permission set as a result. Look for the various bin or sbin directories and verify those first. If there are others, the error messages should point to the offending file. It's been a while since I did this and forget the exact details here.
