Hi,
thanks to Corinne and Laurent for their suggestions
(check that root has access in /etc/exports with,
for instance, "root=0") but this is correct already.
The only thing I did differently in this instance
was copy the files from/to the ASE domain root
rather than the NFS service.
Anyone got any other ideas?
Thanks
John
