You will get the "can't access /usr/obj: Permission denied" on the NFS
client if the NFS server isn't configured properly.

1) Change your /etc/exports to read:

/usr/src /usr/obj development

2) do a kill -1 on mountd on the NFS server
3) try the mount again on the NFS client

Things should work properly then.
