Thanks David; indeed, its working fine now in the 24.2.90 pretest that was recently released. > I'm still wondering why it didn't work at the beginning.

The problem (I think) was that I had a misformatted .netrc with a username in it that I thought was just for one machine, but must have been for all machines! Removing that .netrc file solved my problem, thanks. Stephen
