Thanks! That seamed to do the trick, at leat in part, as files now get 
proper ownerships.

Still no ACLs though. My shared disk have an ext3 filesystem and is 
mounted as:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw,usrquota,acl,user_xattr)
on the server machine.

Suggestions anyone?
Are ACLs in NFS4 supposed to work in Fedora? If so, in what versions?
