Ah-ha - thanks for the pointer :) The problem has probably shifted to
udev rules..

I tried booting without 'auto usb0' and without altering
/etc/default/rcS: the NFS mount now works. Unfortunately this prevents
the usb0 network interface being configured when I plug my USB network
device in, due to the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules:

# Bring devices up and down only if they're marked auto.
# Use start-stop-daemon so we don't wait on dhcp
ACTION=="add",          RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background 
--pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifup -- --allow auto 
$env{INTERFACE}"
ACTION=="remove",       RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background 
--pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifdown -- --allow auto 
$env{INTERFACE}"

Perhaps this should also bring interfaces up/down if they are marked as
allow-hotplug?
