Problem solved! With the last kernel upgrade I must have changed my loop 
devices from compiled in to modular, and there's no "loop" entry 
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. If I "modprobe loop" everything 
works like it's supposed to.

Earlier I had also run "grep -i loop /etc/udev/*" and got no results, 
which sent me into a tailspin - note the spectacular omission of the -r 
parameter.

<sigh> it's been a very long day :-) 

Thanks for the pointers
