Thanks a lot :)
Most of your suggestions are pretty straightforward and I'll put them in, but the PV name problem is nasty, sorting out my script to deal with them is doable, but there is an issue with setting lvm.conf to filter devices called /dev/$*^ would really upset the regular expression parser. I'm tempted to say that people who call their devices things like that deserve everything they get,

but maybe symlinking them to a sensible name (e.g $TMP_LVM_SYSTEM_DIR/dev/temp1) would be better. I'll have a think.
Oh and it deals with exported volume groups because I hit that one during testing, maybe I have weird usage patterns!
