It generally means that the exec() of /sbin/init failed.
The most likely reason is the client "root" access being denied
on the server (converted to "nobody") where /sbin/init has
mode 0500 (owner only).  Try "chmod 0555 /sbin/init" ...

If this fixes it, the real fix it to make the server export the
client's root area with full "root" privileges. (export option)
