I realize is probably going overboard but it's my favored set up that I've been using for about 6 years which is to use LDAP which resolves the UID/GID problems. I haven't played with the remote mounting stuff in Fedora yet but I'm doing an install on my laptop tonight so I can see if I have the same problem with shared files showing up read only if that's of any use.
