Thanks Tom,
           That looked very promising - but actually doesn't seem to change anything.
I relabelled them though...

I did spot something else though. I have this backup script running in /etc/cron.daily
and so it runs once a day as well as whenever I plug in the correct cable.  That
version works! So when called (directly) by cron it runs, when called (indirectly) by
NetworkManager it doesn't. Directly or indirectly by me it doesn't...

This is very confusing.
