Sounds great, although PRIV_NNPFS_DEBUG should be defined on the most recent -CURRENT; I added it last week, so if you're running a slightly older -CURRENT, that could be why.

I owe you (at least) a beer. No problem at all -- this is something I've been meaning to do for years, and I'm very pleased all the pieces are coming together :-).
