Hi Anne

Ed is probably correct. UID and GID are not your name, they are numbers 
attached to an alias for those numbers.

You will probably find that the numbers assosicated with your user in 
/etc/passwd and group /etc/group do not match between computers. Once you've 
made them match, you will need to retake ownership of any file or folder on 
the system where you've changed the uid and gid. Also, after you've done that 
you will need to re export your nfs mounts and restart start the relevant 
services.
