I worked out what it was. The windows server that is mounted is a windows 2000 
NTFS. Running over smbfs it is still very slow and times out.  I have tried 
with cifs but cifs scramble file permissions and I have never manged to get 
that sorted out. Fortunately the windows server does not really have anything 
I want to search so I excluded it from cfg file and index and search works a 
treat.

Tracker will definitely replace Beagle on my desktops :-)
