Well then. Sounds like it's something else ;)
I still rather suspect Kubuntu for one because Kubuntu stinks, especially regarding NFS and then because four other OS/distros mount and access the same mount just fine.
Could be -- you can never trust those debian-derived distros :) Seriously though, i've seen stupidity occur when certain pseudofilesystems aren't mounted. For nfs daemons, this is /proc/fs/nfsd (type nfsd, sourcedev nfsd) and sometimes for nfs clients this is /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs (type rpc_pipefs, sourcedev sunrpc).
A friend of mine pointed out he heard of a strange bug where perms go fubar when the user is more than 16 groups. Don't have the time to trim down the groups right now, ever head of such a thing?
I haven't heard this, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Hmm. Strange. NFS did the job way better than Samba here, in terms of special chars, performance, reliability.
Well, as CIFS is mainly a Microsoft standard, this isn't so surprising :)
First time in... umm... 3 years I think I really run into trouble.
Try adding udp,nfsvers=3 to the mount options -- that might change the behaviour. You can also try 'tcp' and 'nfsvers=2' or various combinatorials.
