by nfs, yes.

I was about to say that the anonuid and anongid seemed like the problem,
but I don't think so because "root_squash,no_all_squash" means "convert
all access by user root to this anonymous user, but not anybody else".

The "mapping=identity" is not documented in the exports man page, nor is
it in /usr/share/doc/nfs-utils-{version}/*, so I can't say with impunity
what it's doing.

ls -l -d will show you the attributes like this:

[root@fiji ~]# ls -l -d pvmgmake
drwxr-xr-x    8 46664    users        4096 Apr 29 12:20 pvmgmake/
[root@fiji ~]# chmod u+s pvmgmake
[root@fiji ~]# ls -l -d pvmgmake
drwsr-xr-x    8 46664    users        4096 Apr 29 12:20 pvmgmake/

But I don't think that's your problem.  I'm about out of ideas here.
I'll think on it over the weekend.
