First, obvious questions: Have you checked to make sure your PATH is set
correctly, or are you giving the full path to the executable? Do you
actually have the authority to run the program in question?

Another gotcha could be: Are you trying to run a program that needs to
be run as root? NFS won't let you do many rootly things over NFS unless
you add a no_root_squash to the share options in /etc/exports.

Anywho.. I hope that helps, if not solve your problem, get you on the
right track.. :)

Best,
