So, the /home partition in nfs mounted. Root (on srvweb-02) is not the
same as root on 192.168.0.5. If the directory you were doing the "chown"
in was in /home, this explains the problem. I suspect the directory was
in vpopmail's home dir.

You will need to do the chown on the host 192.168.0.5. You also should
make sure that UID and GIDs match up between the hosts (for files and
in /etc/passwd and /etc/group).
