Had a little trouble getting NFS installed and working, but eventually
managed to get a logfile produced. However, in true Gremlin style mvpmc
is now performing perfectly!

Reverting to the CIFS mount I had before didn't re-create the problem,
so I'm investigating further. I'm also allowing the MVP to cool down to
see if it's a temperature-related problem. (Normally I turn it on, spend
20 minutes getting annoyed trying to watch something and then turn it
off.)

Even if I don't get to the bottom of this, my posting to the list has
resulted in a postive outcome, so thanks!

For anyone else trying to setup NFS on Debian etch, some tips: 
+ Install the  'nfs-kernel-server' package (v1:1.0.10 worked for me)
rather than 'nfs-user-server', which doesn't seem to work. 
+ Avoid symbolic links - they work differently under NFS to CIFS/Samba
+ Don't change /etc/default/portmap to restrict it to a single
(non-localhost) interface as this stops the nfs daemon from starting. 
(I'll add this to the wiki.)
