Default NFS server behavior is to prevent root on client machines from having privileged access to exported files. Servers do this by mapping the "root" user to some unprivileged user (usually the user "nobody") on the server side. This is known as root squashing.
One way to test, can you add files/dirs as a non root user?

On the server, who owns /nfs/iso? What are the permissions on that directory?

Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner?...I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator.
