Well I won't pretend to understand what's going on here. I forgot to
mention in my original email that the directory '/tmp' exists and is
writeable: 'touch /tmp/fred' works perfectly. Moreover, if I use
'mount -m' the output is the same as on my machines where I have no
problems.

However, I tried your suggested mount command and "Bingo!" the problem
is solved (or at least it appears to be!). So, I thank you for taking the
trouble to reply and for your suggestion.

Cheers,

Simon
