squash doesn't change the uid you see on the client. It just changes the
effective uid on the server. So, if you do "touch foo" somewhere where
65534 actually has write permissions, "foo" will be owned by 65534,
regardless of what uid you are using.

P.S.: I for some reason feel the need to remind everyone that NFS is
often thought to stand for "Not a File System" ;-)
