NFS problem with cloned hard disks

I have a computer that is attached to my network, and works just fine. I
cloned the hard disk, and installed this on a second computer, changing
the hostname and IP address. This to is on the network. I can telnet it,
and it can ping other stations, etc.

However, when I try to start the NFS client process using:

/etc/init.d/nfs start

I get an error as follows:

statd: Could not chdir: No such file or directory

I did a system trace, and have tracked this down to a difference in
behaviour between the first and second machine.

The system traces are identical up to a certain point.

Here is a section of the trace from the first (working) machine:

access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3

read(3, "\0", 1) = 1
exit_group(0) = ?

On the second machine, I get:

close(4) = 0
read(3, "", 1) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?

Notice that the clone call gives an error on the second machine.

What directory is is trying to chdir to?

This is a Gentoo based system initially built from stage 1.
