With further experimentation it seems that 32767 does seem to be the correct value for the -srcnodata option. I've also found that if I omit the -dstnodata option from the gdalwarp command the black holes do not appear, presumably because the void data is then not included in the reprojected image.

I've created a hillshade image using the NASA SRTM3 data following the notes at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HikingBikingMaps. Looks great except for the occasional 'black hole' in the image, I expect this is due to data voids not being rendered correctly.

What's got me puzzled about this is that the wiki page suggests using a value of 32767 for the -srcnodata and -dstnodata options to gdalwarp, howver in the NASA docs (http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/Documentation/Quickstart.pdf ) it says data voids are assigned the value -32768.

Should I be using the NASA value for -srcnodata and -dstnodata instead?
