NFS mapped to root but no access on /home

Using windows server 2003 rs (the 128 day trial), I've managed to get NFS setup and am able to access all directories on a linux machine. That machine is exporting `/' (the root directory) and I've mapped my Windows Administrator account to root using the user account mapping setup.

As administrator I can access /root (The actual home directory of root on linux) and write to that directory, or absolutely any other. One big exception is /home. Which is of course, the one I most need access to.

My administrator account is mapped to root so there should not be any premissions problems at all.

What am I overlooking here?
