NFS + Mount Positions

OK: I'll try to explain this well... but that doesn't always come easy to me.

Lucy = 192.168.1.20
Juicy = 192.168.1.21

Juicy /etc/exports:
/ 192.168.1.20(rw,insecure,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
Lucy fstab
192.168.1.21:/ /home/josh/juicy nfs rw,noauto,sync,user 0 0
Yeah... I know, big security risk. However, this is just temporary, I'm just looking at what can be done.

Ok, so, after I mount /home/josh/juicy, everything works fine.... if I'm logged onto root on lucy (which is a problem because I have limited root access). I mounted the nfs logged in as Josh on Lucy. When I am logged in as Josh, I cannot write to the mounted nfs, I can only read it. However, if I log in as root on Juicy, and chmod one of my folders to 777, I am able to write to that folder only as Josh on the remote NFS. I'm not crazy enough to chmod my whole computer to 777, which would work. So, is there any other way to set the folder permissions to be writable by remote user Josh through NFS????

If it's confusing, ask a question and I'll respond.
