Thanks, I'll give this a go and report back.

I've been trying to debug this unsuccessfully.  It's really not helpful
to enable rpc debugging, and then be greeted with this from printk:

which is just where we want to see the printk messages.  This kind'a
makes printk and the rpc debug stuff rather useless. :(
