This should take care of the problem:

commit 3226c06989186d9cd60ba146df4e2898fee5047b
Author: Steve Dickson <steved@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Apr 30 11:14:22 2014 -0400

    libnfsidmap: id_as_chars() fails zero value ids.
    
    Root has a zero value id which is valid and
    should not be mapped to nfsnobody
