Title:
  mv: failed to preserve ownership for 'file' Invalid argument

Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have an NFS share to which I am attempting to copy files.

  The exact same share, the exact same FSTAB entry, works perfectly on
  12.04LTS but fails miserably on 10.04.4.

  /tmp/etcBackup.tar.gz /mnt/ops-vm1bk1/backups/rx1-ukc/
  mv: failed to preserve ownership for `/mnt/ops-vm1bk1/backups/rx1-ukc/etcBackup.tar.gz': Invalid argument

  but... on the same machine a cp works fine, no error messages.

  traces attached.
