interesting.

unfortunately I don't have the console log from the camera, but the
script _did_ perform the md5sum check on the image files. so I guess it
would have access to it.

it seems the logging levels were not set high on the nfs server, I don't
see anything particularly interesting in the syslog regarding nfs.

anyway, where to go from here?
