Hi Nell,

I'm not really sure what your issue is (I never used the NFS for Nova),
though you have to know that if you're using Debian or Ubuntu, the UIDs
aren't what's in the standard. They should be:

nova: 64060
cinder: 64061
glance: 64062

These have been reserved by James Page a long time ago, through the
normal Debian procedure (James: what's the name of that ?!?), and cannot
(should not?) be used by another application.

I hope this helps,

Cheers,
