First 'chmod -R /home/myth' is an incomplete command as it lacks to 
mode. It would help to know the correct command.

Second, one the server who is the owner of /home/root, and who are you 
when you are running the chmod command?

Third, what is the NFS configuration in /etc/exports?

Fourth, who is the user running the mythfrontend command on the diskless 
frontend and does its uid match the uid of the owner of /home/root?
