They're at the bottom already. I've just re-edited fstab - everything's 
ok in there and it's still happening.

The only possibility is as previously suggested, the network isn't up 
for the first entry. Is there some way to tell Network Manager to 
kick-off earlier? Change something in /etc/init.d/NetworkManager or 
something?

Thanks for the help - I'm more familiar with Solaris and BSD but I'm 
getting there.
