You must be doing something wrong since we do this all the time. Note: 1, Do oyu mean the owner eis a large number = -2 == nobody. That is a problem since that will affect accessing the file. 2. You have nfs and nfslock initscripts running on the server. 3. The mounting should be done via a fstab as type nfs.
