Just to reply to my own message here, is there a chance that this is related 
to my NFS setup? I've got the slave and master connected to each other over 
100Mb wired ethernet. I have had the situation where I'm trying to record two 
streams while watching another on the slave machine (slave also houses the 
main frontend.  What do you all think?
Thanks!
Paul
