Just call me stoopid!!
I was using relative file locations and a control file to set up
various folder offsets. However, I'd forgotten to declare one of the
sub paths as a global and so it had an empty value at the point where
it was being used to access the images!
Sorry to have bothered the list with my stupidity!!
