When you said you were accessing zero over the network, you didn't say how so I
suggested if you were using nfs then nodev might be the culprit.
How are you accessing files aver the network?
I suspect that whatever mechanism you are using has the equivalent of the nfs
nodev feature (part of nfsmount, may be specified in fstab) and the nodev
equivalent is turned on in your case.
