please keep in mind that this problem fixed itself. so 99% of the time it's coming up just fine.  and when it did go bonkers, it fixed itself without me doing any kind of remounting or otherwise, which is highly strange.

mount options in fstab:

  nfs4      auto,rw,hard,intr

export options:


/home/user ipaddr/24(rw,root_squash,insecure,anonuid=#,anongid=#,async,no_subtree_check)

i have the anonuid and anongid set to the correct userid and gid for the user's directory.
