Hi -

Not sure if that'll help but one thing we noticed is that the Unix VM 
(and possibly the Mac VM too) behaves pathetically when trying to use 
sync mounted NFS drives. We absolutely had to mount them async and I 
could certainly imagine that an image save exposes similar behavior.

I would definitely try to mount NFS async just to see if it makes a 
difference.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
