NFS requires that the UIDs and GIDs be synchronized between machines, or that 
you take steps to account for the lack of such synchronization.

The permission error is telling you what the problem is, and the UID/GIDs are 
confirming it.

Not sure how you handle permissions on a Windows NFS server, but if it were a 
Unix server you could just set 777 permissions (security policy permitting).

You might want to share out that Windows directory using Samba type sharing.
