hmm man exports suggests examples such as
           /usr /usr/local -maproot=0:10 friends
           /usr -maproot=daemon grumpy.cis.uoguelph.ca 131.104.48.16
           /usr -ro -mapall=nobody
           /u -maproot=bin: -network 131.104.48 -mask 255.255.255.0
           /u2 -maproot=root friends
           /u2 -alldirs -network cis-net -mask cis-mask
           /cdrom -alldirs,quiet,ro -network 192.168.33.0 -mask
255.255.255.0

so not sure where you got that from.

Shoudl be rw by default. who doesnt have writing access? are the unix
permissions on both sides correct, if its an issue with root not being
able to write, the manpage says:

In the absence of -maproot and -mapall options, remote accesses by root
     will result in using a credential of -2:-2.  All other users will be
     mapped to their remote credential.  If a -maproot option is given,
remote
     access by root will be mapped to that credential instead of -2:-2.
 If a
     -mapall option is given, all users (including root) will be mapped to
     that credential in place of their own.


Hope this helps, sorry for the RTFM but is a cliche for a reason :)
