[mythtv-users] Mounting DVDs via NFS problem

Brilliant.  OK have read the manual and have done it, it's mounted under 
proper username and groups:

mythtv:/media# mount -o umask=000,uid=1000,gid=24 /dev/hdc /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mythtv:/media# ls -l
total 2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  cdrom  6 2005-06-07 19:30 cdrom -> cdrom0
dr-xr-xr-x  3 piers cdrom 88 2003-09-08 21:08 cdrom0
mythtv:/media#

Correct user and group, great, but it still doesn't work, showing:

Jan 23 11:20:14 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 
akane.10sca.intranet:960 for /media/cdrom0 (/media/cdrom0)
Jan 23 11:20:14 localhost rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong now?

Thanks very much for your help again!
