Server is running NFSv4 by default, which requires some changes to the
configure files. You need to go to /etc/default/nfs-common on both
systems and change the line "NEED_IDMAPD=" to "NEED_IDMAPD=yes". This
at least worked for me. Ubuntu 7.10 used NFSv3 by default and it did
not need this.

Good luck,
