Looks like a permissions problem in the pg_xlog directory.  Is that
directory owned and writable by the postgres user?

Gack.  I'd rate this as a "zero reliability" setup.  I take it your data
is not very important to you?  If it is, find a way to avoid using NFS.
Especially NFS to a Windoze server.
