I've created an NFS mountpoint with rw permissions. How do I set new files in a directory to be created by a specific user/group with certain permissions?

You can use `setfacl` – Ramesh Apr 25 '14 at 16:36

chown a file to any particular user/group that you need and then follow the below steps.
ACLs are applied to directories and files. You can't apply them to a group, at least not directly. You can apply them to all files/directories a group owns, by chaining with find:
find /home/username/filename -group «some-group» -type d -exec setfacl -m u:username:rx '{}' '+'
