The inode number of the problem file in question is: 1080094
Yes, the NFS server is Linux-based.
Re. ensure mount points are 755: yes, they are; otherwise I wouldn't be able to create any directories/files. Note that the problem occurs only with some newly created directories, but when it does occur, it is consistent (directory can never be read).
Regarding the other problem (perhaps related): even with freshly mounted nfs dirs, the two clients show different group permissions for all files/dirs:
Example of same dir:
Client1:
drwxrwx---+ 58 user group
Client2:
drwx------+ 58 user group
Both user and group are defined with same ids in /etc/passwd, /etc/group. What config might be faulty to warrant this behavior?
Thanks.

The home directory of

the files and directories under the home directory will be available.
If a user is deleted and the home directory is shared by others, then this directory is not deleted even with the option.
Force the changes, even if the login is currently in use.

password file of NIS specified by the option. The and options should not be used with this option.

In the event where a directory is shared by users of the same group and the owner of that directory is deleted, then the ownership of that
directory is propagated to the next user who is sharing that directory. The new owner is determined by looking at the order in which the
users sharing this directory are added to the file. If there is only one user remaining then the directory is brought back to unshared
mode by resetting the permissions to from

(return value 10) is returned if a local user belongs to an NIS group (see group(4)).
