UID and GID are not your name, they are numbers attached to an alias for those numbers. You will probably find that the numbers assosicated with your user in /etc/passwd and group /etc/group do not match between computers. Once you've made them match, you will need to retake ownership of any file or folder on the system where you've changed the uid and gid. Also, after you've done that you will need to re export your nfs mounts and restart start the relevant services.
