Weird. Your uids/gids seem out of sync between client and server, i.e. you need to synchronize your client's and server's uid/gid system (c.f. nsswitch.conf). I.e. you typically will have to synchonize /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and might want to add a network wide passwd/groups system, such as nis/yp. Ralf
