I can rsh as root from one system to another without issue.

However when I am a regular user I get rsh permission denied. From the source system in the user's .rhosts file I have the target hostname and the user name.

You must really hate your servers, or your customers.

And what does the "df" output have to do with anything? :p

Actually, the .rhosts file goes into the home directory on the -target- server, not on the source system.

well the df was just to show that I am executing a remote command rather than just logging in. I found the solution though. I had to make entries in /etc/dfs (dfstab and sharetab) and then bounced automountd. The home directory wasnt getting mounted when the user logged in.
