Hmm, at first it is... You cannot mount filesystems (even not NFSs) as regular user. Well, you can, but you have to be the owner of the mountpoint directory and have set (as superuser or during startup (/etc/sysctl.conf)) the sysctl vfs.usermount to 1. The '-maproot=SOMEID' is for the NFS server which tells him to what userid incoming ID=0 requests will be mapped. Usually you don't want to let everybody who identifies him as ID=0 erase your root file system! So User ID=0 is invalid in NFS until you map it to any other (or the same) ID!
