Hi,
I have one old spare PC, a PIII with 128 MB RAM, that I use as a spare file server. I have a headless CentOS 5 install on it, and a 2 terabyte external USB harddisk.

First to rule out the USB Drive copy file on the server machine itself from like a dvd rom to the USB Drive in order to check out how it is working,
Try this go directly to the Mount Folder of your NFS Share and open it up then copy and paste a file into it. Don't do a browse network to access the nfs share. You want the hard mounted nfs share.
You should have better success with another 128MB of RAM..
Case point I have one also a P3 450 256MB RAM CentOS 5.4 here at home using samba + clam av and large files make me have to hard mount the directory to paste to the server. I run no GUI either on it so you may want to get rid of X and Gnome. Mine I run in, run level 3 so no gui here because it was painfully slow.
