As the man(3) page for utime/utimes/lutimes, EPERM is returned when the second parameter of utime/utimes/lutimes is not NULL, the caller's effective UID does not match the owner of the file, and the caller is not privileged. However, in a NFS directory, it will return EACCESS(nfsd_setattr-> fh_verify->nfsd_permission), This patch fix this.
