Adding to Todd's question .. NFS often does NOT permit root so its permissions are converted to "nobody" unless otherwise specified (if this is really an NFS volume you are copying into).

Is the error you got associated with the "copy JSON" task? How are you elevating privileges? There's no "become: true" on the plays; are you specifying "--become" or "-b" on the command line? Does it run as you, or are you using a different become user? Is "nfs" a group or an individual host? It might help to show the whole command line, and the output of ansible-config dump --only-changed could avoid us having to ask some follow-up questions, too.
