SFU and NFS issues

Hi, I support a small lab of older HP UX 9 and 10 boxes. We have some older NT 4.0 machines at each UX box, with a old ZFS Server programs hosting two mounted directories. (Each UX and NT machine is on its own private network via crossover cable). Due to hardware failure/support EOL on NT, I have been trying to setup a XP box with SFU 3.5 (limited to XP due to another piece of software we use, anyways,) but keep hitting a permissions error.

PC has one user account ut16 with full rights to both shares. (No password)
User mapping is setup so the ut16 account is tied to the ut16 account on the unix box. (Again, no password)
I am using the passwd and group files from the UX box (pulled off via kermit).

I have also created a group ikd1 on the XP box and added the ut16 user and mapped it to the same group on the UX box.

Now here is what is confusing me. I can mount the shares logged in as root with no problems. However when I change to ut16, I can not list the directory or create new files/directories.
Code:
#su ut16
# cd /nfs
# ls -l
-rw-rw-rw- 1 kd1  ikd1  139320 Nov 26 2001 Programs
drwxrwxrwx 2 ut16  65534  64  Dec 8 2011 Results

#cd Results
# ls
. not found

Logged back in as root:
#su
# mkdir test
# ls
test
# ls -l
total 2
drwxrwxrwx   2  root    65534      64 Dec 8 2011 test

I realize this is a permissions error, but I am confused beyond any documentation I can find. I followed this guide:
techietips. net /networking/create-an-nfs-share-with-microsoft-services-for-uni-15.html
But even then, I get the same errors.

You will have to excuse my limited knowledge as before this I have done mostly Windows AD, but recently have switched to Mac/Solaris 11. Thank you!

SHOWMOUNT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME
showmount - show mount information for an NFS server SYNOPSIS
showmount [ -adehv ] [ --all ] [ --directories ] [ --exports ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ] DESCRIPTION
showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine. With no options showmount lists the set of clients who are mounting from that host. The output from showmount is designed to appear as though it were pro- cessed through ``sort -u''. OPTIONS
-a or --all List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory in host:dir format. This info should not be considered reliable. See the notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8). -d or --directories List only the directories mounted by some client. -e or --exports Show the NFS server's export list. -h or --help Provide a short help summary. -v or --version Report the current version number of the program. --no-headers Suppress the descriptive headings from the output. SEE ALSO
rpc.mountd(8), rpc.nfsd(8) BUGS
The completeness and accuracy of the information that showmount displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation. Because showmount sorts and uniqs the output, it is impossible to determine from the output whether a client is mounting the same directory more than once. AUTHOR
