Permissions Denied issue when deploying components on a Cluster with a NFS GDS even though app.server starting user has been given read and write permissions to GDS.

When deploying LC components through LCM on JBoss Cluster running on RH Linux with a NFS GDS permissions denied error is thrown and deployment fails. This is seen even though the user starting the app.server has been granted read and write permissions to the GDS.
The following error is seen in LCM logs -

In Server log the following error is seen -
com.adobe.idp.DocumentError: java.io.IOException: Permission denied
Cause – the issue happens if the netapp level permissions for this share are set to “NTFS” or “UNIX”.
Resolution – The permissions at the netapp level for the GDS share should be set to “mixed” instead of “NTFS” or “UNIX”.
