*Root squash*
I think the problem is root squash, the problem of creating owners as
"nobody" is root squash.
Root squash is reduction of the access rights for the remote superuser
(root) when using identity authentication (local user is the same as
remote user). It is primarily the feature of NFS but potentially may
be available on other systems as well.On UNIX like systems, root
squash option can be turned on and off in /etc/exports file on a
server side.
This behavior can be modified by use of the no_root_squash and
all_squash options in the exports file as well as the anonuid and
anongid options on a per-share basis.
