My NFS server has just "rw,no_subtree_check" in the options for /data.

My /data is 755, but the enclosed folders have the necessary groups
and permissions. In addition, the NFS server is also the NIS server,
so the users and groups on the workstations are actually local to the
server.

Do they mount as root? In my lab, workstations mount /data in fstab
with the following options:
auto,dev,exec,rw,suid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

Me neither, but the setup I've described works fine for me.
