I Guess I Don't Understand NFS As Well As I Thought

Can someone kindly explain what is going on here:
Machine A: FreeBSD - was running 8, just upgraded to 9.1-PRE
(I don't recall seeing the behavior described below
in V8, but then, I don't think I ever tried it).
Machine B: Linux Mint Desktop
- Machine A acts as an NFS server for Machine B.
- Machine A exports a particular directory like this:
/usr/foo -maproot=myid -network ...
- /usr/foo/bar is owned by root on Machine A and has files therein
owned as root:root with permissions of 600.
- If I access /usr/foo/bar/file1 from Machine B, I cannot read it
but - and this is the part I don't get - I CAN *rename* it.
What's going on? Since /foo/bar/ is owned by root and everything
in it is 600 root:root, I would not expect a remote access to allow
things like renaming. Clearly I am missing something here, but I
don't get it.
