When mounting file systems with NFS it is vital to have the same user
names with matching UID numbers, as well as the same group names with
matching GID on both systems. Unfortunately this is not normally the
case and the result is that you see strange user names and group names
assigned to files. What you have to do is update the users and groups to
have the same UID and GID numbers on both systems. You only need to
update the users and groups you are using (e.g. mythtv).
You also need to change user and group ownership on all affected files.
While doing this shut down any processes using them.
