Trouble copying or moving files on NFS

I have a user that is trying to extract files from tape using tar to an NFS mounted filesystem. When he tries to do this, he gets a series of "permission denied" errors for the files. The directory structure is created and the file name is created, but every file is "0" bytes and has no permissions, e.g.,

---------- 1 bjackson users 0 Dec 7 15:31 xmrg072000WG.tar

The filesystem is being exported rw, it is mounted rw. I can cd to the filesystem and create new files, but I cannot mv or cp files to this filesystem from anywhere without having the above described problems.

The mount point is owned by root:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys 3864 Dec 11 12:05 rfcdata

It contains a subdirectory that now has 777 perms to try to figureout this problem and is owned by the user extracting the files from tape.

I will gladly provide more infomation as needed. I hope it's just something stupid I'm overlooking. :)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
