No need to export it as NFS and connect back to it.

And QNAP’s Web GUI does not allow you to change/set the specific uid/gid because it is too low of a number. If you create the user and group manually with the command line, the new user and group are not visible and selectable in the web interface to allow setting ownership permissions on the new backup NFS share. (and if you try to delete the group from the command line the group delete command doesn’t exist…)

Overall, a somewhat frustrating experience which could be made better if they would just let you configure the backup user uid/gid in PBS to match the NFS share permissions on the Qnap.
