I suspect it might be the remotedir argument. Are there problems
if it doesn't exist? I notice the Ant manual says that it's not
required, but having tried it with remotedir, it works now - 
without remotedir, it doesn't work. 

Again, I'm transferring from NT to Solaris (seems to be a common
problem area!) - don't know whether this makes a difference. 

Thanks for everyone's help on this matter - I wonder if either a
bug fix or a documentation fix is required?
