I checked the message log and realised that I hadn't unmounted the nfs mount to my other linux box when I dismantled it last week, and cron is trying to access a mount point that it can't.
Can you make the mount point come back? Even if it's a different machine with different contents it should work as long as it's on the same IP with the same exported name as the NFS connection is stateless.
doesn't work all of the time, if you had files open on the mount point and they mystically disappear the kernel can get more than a bit upset.. have had this at work a couple of times this week, usually its quicker to reboot the machine than to try and play around with the mounts though =(
Its still worth a try though.
