On further investigation there are two things going on. First the error message was overwriting itself onto one line, so sticking a \n into the s2p script solved that annoyance. Then after further fiddling I realised that setting the fileformat=unix rather than dos (in vim) solved the problem. The script wasn't apparently built for cross platform work! Thanks for the prompt response.
