Read the exports(5) manpage. Its format is different on FreeBSD than it is on Linux. (rw) isn't valid. Pay particular attention to the section about "maproot". "In the absence of -maproot and -mapall options, remote accesses by root will result in using a credential of -2:-2." So if you mounted the directory as root on the client side then you were given no permissions. Either add a "-maproot=root" flag to your exports line (insecure) or change the ownership on the server to be a different user and mount as that user on the client.
