Followup:

Further tests seems to suggest that using --transcode
with a single pass and no noise reduction gives virtually
identical picture quality as transcode with multi-pass and
noise reduction.

The run time on that is 1h 28 minutes (still twice ffmpeg's time)
and it plays perfectly in xine, mplayer, kaffeine, vlc. and
Windows Media Player 9 and later.  It shows
slight jerkyness in Winamp and Windows DivX Player
(older version).

So this may be my new standard, its cleaner than
ffmpeg.   Down side:  files are 21% bigger at
424221176 bytes.

Now if I can just get the command line to work so
I can run these nuvexport jobs from the backend I'll be happy.
