I use NFS for my vpopmail directories, and haven't seen this.. I'm assuming you're using CDB files for auth; that means the DB files are all on NFS. If you don't have your root mapped properly, you won't be able to create files. Try using -maproot=0 (freebsd, others may be similar) in your exports on the NFS server, and re-mount the NFS mountpoint; see if that helps.
