That's actually a kernel message, not a server message, so presumably
mythbuntu is configured to send syslog messages to the server over the
network?

Does this happen immediately, or does it take a few moments? Do you
perhaps have to read from the device before it happens?

No. The 'request' and 'reply' are from the client side. If my
understanding is correct, this would mean you're getting a REQUEST_MAGIC
on a reply packet. That's clearly wrong. Why that's happening, however,
isn't clear to me.

Please do the following:
apt-get build-dep nbd
apt-get source nbd
cd nbd-2.9.23
now use your favourite editor to edit the file 'debian/rules'. Near the
top of that file, you'll find the following target:
override_dh_auto_configure: debian/po/templates.pot
test -f nbd.h
dh_auto_configure -- --enable-lfs --enable-syslog \
--prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/share/man
Add a '--enable-debug' parameter:
override_dh_auto_configure: debian/po/templates.pot
test -f nbd.h
dh_auto_configure -- --enable-lfs --enable-syslog \
--prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-debug
Then rebuild:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
(note that you need to do this in the 'nbd-2.9.23' directory, *not* in
'nbd-2.9.23/debian').
Finally, install the rebuilt package:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i nbd-server_2.9.23*deb
This replaces your nbd-server with a version that will not fork, cannot
be used in inetd mode (so you'll have to do the manual mode like you did
earlier), and which will produce a *lot* of debugging output when a
session is running. Please copy-and-paste that output into a followup to
this bugreport.
Once you've done this, you may want to revert to the original
nbd-server:
apt-get --reinstall install nbd-server
