Backup problems to NFS mount

For some servers, we are doing backups to a NFS mount, to decrease the I/O on the disks of the server when backups (a lot of I/O sometimes affects performance of the server).

The NFS mount is mounted as /home/backupuser/download, which is also the target directory for the backups. When the backup task is executed, we immediately get the following error:

Unable to create backup directory : /home/backupuser/download : <b>Parent directory does not allow write, or one of the directories didn't allow search (execution) permission</b>

This directory is an existing directory (of course, because it is the mount point) and the rights are 755. When we manually add the backup task to the task.queue file, the backup is running fine, even to the NFS mount. When the NFS is unmounted, the backup also works without any problems.

Also, sometimes it is working. About once in every 10 times, the backup is working.

I hope someone can help me with this :)
