yeah, that makes no sense.

on a whim, just checked my system, s8:
/export/home, root/sys, 755;
/home root/root, 555.
so it doesn't look like an owner or perm clash...

this is automounted.  i've forgotten - are you also automounting, or
direct fstab nfs-mounting?  what if you manually force an nfs mount?
