Suggestion, replace the rw,tcp,timeo=150 with just "defaults"
and don't try to set any options at all.

Also do a "cat /proc/mounts" after you mount things to see what
the machines things it is mounted as.

And do check /var/log/messages to see if there are any messages
around NFS.

And also check permissions, you can set the permission on /mnt/wd640d 
on the client end before the mount and on the "." directory of the 
filesystem to be mounted, if you mount a directory that is more 
restrictive the more restrictive permissions are the ones used.

Given the above permissions and trying to create a file as a non-root
user in one of those directories it should fail, but the error may not 
be correct as to exactly why it is failing.
