Thank you for the responses and I did not mean to imply this is an issue
with FAI, just thought some others on the FAI list may have had some
experience with it.
I do have idmapd running on both the server and install client. It does
not appear to be helping. I am going to try NFS v3.

Hello!
I think I got it the other (incorrect) way in my original post. Sorry!
In wheezy, "FQDN minus hostname" is the default (Domain is not set
in /etc/idmapd.conf by default), while in squeeze, it is fixed to
"localdomain" in the provided /etc/idmapd.conf.
The bottom line is, one must ensure that the domain is identical on the
server and client. Otherwise strange things happen with UIDs and GIDs.

2) ensure that all idmapd-s have the same value for "Domain". Squeeze
defaults to a portion of your fqdn, while wheezy defaults to
"localdomain". This is set in /etc/idmapd.conf and better make it
identical across your entire network.
If you do not specify the domain, it will be picked up from the fqdn.
man idmapd.conf:
Domain The local NFSv4 domain name. An NFSv4 domain is a namespace
with a unique username<->UID and groupname<->GID mapping.
(Default: Host's fully-qualified DNS domain name)
I use the following /etc/idmapd.conf:
[General]
Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
# set your own domain here, if id differs from FQDN minus hostname
# Domain = localdomain
[Mapping]
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nogroup
and it works fine here for NFSv4 mounted home directories
(cf. debian-lan project).
Best regards,
Andi
