With fastly.com in fact - it seems to be working again now.

So the CentOS 8 bug is:

  nbdkit: file[1]: error: openat: : No such file or directory

I'm going to put this down to a bug in nbdkit 1.22.0 that shipped in
CentOS 8.4.  This will be updated to nbdkit 1.24 in the next release,
which shouldn't have this bug.
