You should start the mountdaemon with the n-option

mountd -n

in order to get non-root mounts working. I had exactly the same
problem until I finaly found this solution. It should be in the FAQ or
the instructions to pcnfsd.

I had to add to use a define (don't remember which one - probably a 
BSDsomething) in order to have a working testprogram. I use pcnfsd from
the ports-section ;-))

I use os/2 with the tcp/ip base-kit and nfs-kit and it works just fine.
