 Most likely your Solaris system is set to map root access to uid -2,
 gid -2, to keep malicious people from breaking into NFS servers by
 cracking root on another machine.
 
 If you really want remote root users to be able to write willy-nilly to
 your NFS mounts, check the exports(5) man page on your NFS server to
 see what flags you need to set to allow root access.  On FreeBSD, it
 would be  -maproot=0
