I think the problem is not the NFS export, the problem is that the dos
filesystem doesn't support ownership and modes of files in the usual way.
When you are mounting a msdos partition you can specify the mount options
uid, gid and umask. These modes will be used for all files on the dos
partition.
This is necessary, because fat filesystem doesn't support this unix
features.
