Brilliant!

Yeah, that's my problem. I guess I was expecting 'nodev' to cause some other 
error, perhaps on device creation.  I was initially creating my pbuilder 
chroots on in /var/cache and that's also mounted 'nodev'.

I know chroots will need special attention but, are there any guidelines as to 
what filesystems are generally safe to mount 'nodev' (and 'nosuid')?
