So it seems. I have finally succumbed and put ubuntu ver 10 on to my 
backup machine and kubuntu (I prefer kde) on to my main machine. I can 
see the required backup file on the backup machine from the main 
machine. Amazingly I have not been able to do that for over a week. 
Previously it all worked with PCLOS on both machines under NFS. Then it 
stopped.

Safe now, thanks for all the advice.
