If user<->uid mapping keeps giving you grief, you can:
sysctl vfs.nfsd.enable_stringtouid=1
on the NFS server and then kill off the nfsuserd on both client and server.
(After doing this, the user on the wire is just a string with the uid in it
 like "102". Same applies to groups.)

Also, you need to avoid multiple username->same uid mappings. I delete "toor"
from /etc/passwd for example.
