Many thanks to marcio
I had overlooked the permissions at the top level of my new drive and ran the following suggested by marcio:
chmod 777 /media/zoneminder
chmod 777 /media/zoneminder/zoneminder
chmod 777 /media/zoneminder/zoneminder/events
zoneminder is the name I gave the drive mounted in media and also the name of the folder which holds the events images and temp folders.
I have already ran that command on all of the events, but hadn't done so at a higher level
ZM 1.24.1 Ubuntu 9.10 No Events Being Stored
Am going to write mine up and get it on here ASAP.
Would recommend you just check your permissions on the network share, as above.
Zoneminder needs the right access, not just in the folder it is writing events to, but all the way to the top level, AFAIK
So, start at the folder your share is mounted to
chmod 777 /media/network_share
then any folder within that, done to the events folder
chmod 777 /media/network_share/zoneminder
chmod 777 /media/network_share/zoneminder/events
That worked for me!

Done. I am getting buffer overrun errors since I moved it to cifs/smbfs. It was working fine locally, but then I mapped /mnt/cam in fstab and updated the Options page with the new paths (images, audio and video). Also, I didn't move a database, not sure where that it is.
I tried lowering fps, quality, raising buffer, still same issues. Getting 0 frame events.

The think not to do is change the paths at all in the config, put those back to what they were.
Instead, create symlinks where the events path etc used to be to point to your new share. That way, the config will look in the same place, but the symlinks will map across to the new location. Have read this in a few places, ZM doesn't seem to link having its config changed.

Sure, for example:
ln -s /media/zoneminder/zoneminder/events /var/cache/zoneminder
ln -s /media/zoneminder/zoneminder/temp /var/cache/zoneminder
ln -s /media/zoneminder/zoneminder/images /var/cache/zoneminder
The original folders are in /var/cache/zoneminder (which I assume you already moved to your new share?) So when the folders are gone, run the above (replacing the media link of course) to map across. I moved all 3 folders, but only the events one is required really.
My alternative directory is /media/zoneminder/zoneminder, so just replace this with yours in the link above!
Hope that works
