Writing to a NFS mounted directory from the Iseries

I have an Iseries (V5R1) and a Linux machine. I have export a NFS directory on my Linux machine and have successfully mounted that directory on my Iseries. I can see any of the files that are already in the directory. I can, from my PC, navigate to the folder on my Iseries and copy a file to that directory. It shows up on the Linux server and is also viewable on the Iseries. Using the NFS options I was able to direct the uid and gid to one specific user for this mount. After I copy the files from my PC it is mapped to the correct user/group on the Linux machine. 

Here is my problem:
If I go to WRKLNK and go to another folder and try to copy a file to that directory, the system will error with the following message: 

CPFA098
The CCSID of the target file could not be set to match the CCSID of the source file. 


If I specify the CCSID on the copy command I get this error:

CPFA0B1
Message . . . . :   Requested operation not allowed.  Access problem.
Cause . . . . . : An operation was requested on an object, but the operation is not allowed in the context of the request. Appropriate privileges may be 
 required or the file system may not allow an operation to the selected
 object.
I have mounted the directory under the QSECOFR profile and I am trying to copy the file using WRKLNK under the QSECOFR profile. I do not understand what type of access problem there might be. It will copy a file through NETSERVER to the NFS mounted directory but it will not copy the file using WRKLNK. 

I have also tried the following:

CPYTOIMPF (Myfile) TOSTMF(NFS mounted directory/Myfile.csv)

this produces the following error:
CPDA09B
Message . . . . :   CCSID conversion could not be performed.
Cause . . . . . :   The coded character set identifier (CCSID) conversion
 could not be performed because the input data is not valid or can not be
 identified by the specified code set.
According to the MOUNT command I have the option of *Binary for the Data CCSID which according to the help is supposed to be that NO conversion is used 


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
