uid:gid is the same for the user on all machines.

Is it possible that your UID:GID do not match for said user on each server?

When I try to copy data from vol1 to vol2 as a regular user I get a permission denied error.  When I try to do the copy as root it succeeds.  But, as a non-root user I copy vol1 data to the local disk then copy that local disk to vol2 the copy succeeds.
