Might just be that there isn't enough verbosity... (or could be that there
really is no log). Just as an experiment, plonk the line:

	*.debug			/var/log/allmessages

into /etc/syslog.conf, then find the PID of syslogd and do a kill -HUP <pid>

This will probably end up being very verbose, depending on what the machine
is doing at the same time, but if nfsd is trying to log something, this will
catch it.

I suspect the default is that syslog is set to only log informational
messages and higher...unless someone that knows Mandrake knows otherwise.
