[Bug 1163006] [NEW] mv: failed to preserve ownership for 'file' Invalid argument

[John Doe]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I have an NFS share to which I am attempting to copy files.

The exact same share, the exact same FSTAB entry, works perfectly on
12.04LTS but fails miserably on 10.04.4.

/tmp/etcBackup.tar.gz /mnt/ops-vm1bk1/backups/rx1-ukc/
mv: failed to preserve ownership for `/mnt/ops-vm1bk1/backups/rx1-ukc/etcBackup.tar.gz': Invalid argument

but... on the same machine a cp works fine, no error messages.

traces attached.
