 In my first message I said that the uid/uid were the same so this all
did not apply, but it was the last throw away line that nudged me.....

I changed the /etc/exports file from;

	/frodo	(rw,no_root_squash)
to;
	/frodo	aragorn(rw,no_root_squash) gimli(rw,no_root_squash)

and it worked perfectly

So, nw I have to ask why? This is all right with a network of three, but
it would not be practicle with thirty/

What have I missed here?
