The problem, as pointed out by David Orman <orman_at_cnde.iastate.edu>,
is that while the -access option allows netgroups, the -root option
does not.
So correct syntax is
/data/stuff -root=trusted1:trusted2 -access=alphas:linux
which will allow root priviledge operations on /data/stuff from the two
hosts `trusted1' and `trusted2', and regular access to hosts in the
`alphas' and `linux' netgroups. This is adequate for my purposes.
If you use -root=0, then, as far as I can see, you can only configure
exports to give every host root priviledge.
Thanks to all others who took the time to reply.
