NFSv3 home folder Finder Sidebar Favorites not saved on logout

Status:Closed Resolved:Yes
Product:OS X Product Version:OS X 10.9.5, OS X 10.10.3
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
We use LDAP user accounts and home folders mounted via NFSv3 in our classroom. It works mostly ok but cfprefsd is unable to save Finder sidebar Favorites so when user logs out system does not save his changes to Finder sidebar favorites items.

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist in not created at all.
This is probably connected to cfprefs daemon responsible for saving those settings.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bind Mac to LDAP directory server
2. setup network home folders accessible by NFSv3 protocol (can be automounted)
3. log in with some network user from LDAP directory
4. edit Finder sidebar Favorites (add new folders, remove some default)
5. log out
6. log in with same user

Expected Results:
Finder sidebar Favorites changes are saved and I can see them at next login.

Actual Results:
Finder sidebar Favorites return to default set of icons

Version:
OS X 10.9.5
OS X 10.10.3
