I have seen the same type of thing. The problem was with the mount point
itself for the NFS file system.  Try this, unmount the filesystem in
question, NOW check the permissions and make sure they are what you want
(Owner, mode, group), then re-mount it.

When a filesystem is NFS mounted, the permissions of the mount point
should be completely overridden by the permissions of the mounted file
system. This does not appear to be the case.
