Root-squashing only modifies the way your client credentials are seen on the server; it isn't applied to uid's that are returned to the client e.g. when listing a directory. So if you create a new file as a user on the client, that new file will be given anonymous uid and gid. But if you "ls" a directory, the uid's you see will be unaffected by squashing.
