https://serverfault.com/questions/240897/how-to-properly-set-permissions-for-nfs-folder-permission-denied-on-mounting-en provides great detail about how this works.

When I use to work with NFS + AFS every day inside IBM, we had a set of scripts which ran all the time... on every machine to ensure matching users + groups on every single machine. Whenever a mismatch was caught, an email was sent to an admin list for manual intervention to fix problems.

Generally, for NFS to work flawlessly, best to have matching user/uid + group/gid settings on all your machines.

You can try fixing things with setfacl at various ends + this approach tends to be very hard to debug.

Simple Test: Sync the uid/gid of the one user/group you're trying to effect + see if all your problems magically heal.
