I remembered that there were time-out errors / warnings in Adept of ??? not installed due to breaking dependencies. Now this was the first day of 8.04 avqailability and all the download servers were being hammered and refusing connections.

I just did the following and now have a working NFS client.

#> apt-get remove portmap nfs-common

#> apt-get autoremove

#> apt-get update

#> apt-get upgrade

#> apt-get install portmap nfs-common

I then uncommented out the appropriate lines from /etc/fstab leaving this as an exqample:

192.168.20.130:/media /mount/media nfs auto,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,noatime,timeo=14,intr 0 0

Lastly was

#> mount -a

And everything works.

I assume that since there's no updates to the 8.04 code that my problems were due to time-outs on the code installation causing problems.
