FAI with NFS v4 on Debian Wheezy

I have set-up an FAI server and have a client I am using to refine my 
files and scripts.  The issue I am having is file and group ownership:

ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

-rw-r--r-- 1 4294967294 4294967294 4670 Mar 14 13:51 cupsd.conf

The "nfsstat -m" shows I am using NFS v4 on the client for the 
/var/lib/fai/config directory.  I have nfs-common installed and 
/etc/idmapd.conf is configured on both the client and server.

More confusing, when I do this command on the client:


# ls -l /var/lib/fai/config/files/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 22 root       root       4096 May  6 09:59 etc
drwxr-xr-x  3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Nov  7  2006 home
drwx------  3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Apr 23 12:15 lib
drwxr-xr-x  5 root       root       4096 Mar 30  2011 root
drwxr-xr-x  3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb  4  2011 usr
drwxr-xr-x  3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 May 22  2007 var

on the server all of these are owned by "root:root".

I need some suggestions. Thank you.
