NFS UID Problem

I'm trying to allow an ordinary user to nfs mount a remote directory. I
have no problem getting mount to work for this user, but there's a
problem afterwards. The user can't write into the NFS mounted directory
even though it's mounted rw. It seems that the problem may be that this
user has a different UID on each machine.
If I add a uid=XXX to the entry in /etc/fstab mount refuses to work.
Any advice much appreciated.
