This does mount, and let me write into my directory, thanks!

Every time I do so, either with touch or  chmod for example, I get
errors like this:

Oct  1 08:52:39.288 read bad packet from 5

I can 9umount and then 9mount again for my next write operation as root.

Oddly enough, cp does not throw the error.  I can cp fine, then touch
gives me this

$ sudo touch that
[sudo] password for jdc:
Oct  1 10:20:25.502 read bad packet from 6
$ ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Input/output error

I unmount and remount and then I can cp again.

$ cd -
/home/jdc
$ sudo 9umount /n/sources
[sudo] password for jdc:
$ sudo 9mount -i
'unix!/tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.101:0/sources.cs.bell-labs.com' /n/sources
$ cd -
/n/sources/contrib/catenate
$ sudo cp /home/jdc/contrib/latin1.7a.font .
$ ls
lsguide  latin1.7a.font  that  this

So all the files get there, it's just annoying to have to
unmount/remount, and to have everything owned by root.

$ ls -la
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  62 2009-10-01 08:59 guide
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 577 2009-10-01 10:21 latin1.7a.font
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 2009-10-01 10:20 that
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 2009-10-01 08:49 this

I also tried Abhishek's command also, but still got "permission denied".

Thanks everyone for your help.
