Mounting a NFS share from Kodi running on the NVIDIA Shield

Spent way too much time figuring out why I wasn’t able to mount a TrueNAS NFS share.

error

There’s a little nugget buried here Kodi NFS that says you must allow mount access from non-root users.

This setting is in the Service -> NFS options, NOT in the NFS sharing set up:
