let me put some details,

Server X is a Samba server
Server Y is a NFS server

now i have mapped the particular NFS share of Server Y
in Server X, to store the user's profiles.

here is my /etc/exports file in Server Y...

/backup1/LK/profiles            
192.168.1.163/255.255.255.255(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

,
hence the problem is samba is not able to create any
file to that mapped share, but manually i'm able to .
and the permission of  /home/samba/profiles  is 

debian:~# ls -l /home/samba/profiles/
total 12
drwsrwsrwx  2 root    users   4096 Nov 27 08:33
lkuserprofiles
drwx------ 14 root    root    4096 Nov 26 07:56 root
drwx------ 13 testing testing 4096 Nov 25 22:54
testing


ls -l  /home/samba/profiles/lkuserprofiles/d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root users 0 Nov 28  2008
/home/samba/profiles/lkuserprofiles/d
