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.

Maybe posting you exports file and fstab would help.
