NFS means NetworkFileSystem and is simply a possibility to mount
partitions in a network enviroment. This means you got your
home-Partition on a server in a network and it is mounted locally into
your pc. 

My advise is only a guess, but you should check the index and ids files
of this folder. These can be found in your Maildirectory for example
~/Mail and got a . in the front, so cannot be seen with normal ls *.
Maybe these are not writeable for you?!
