Imran, Thanks for your reply. I tried what you asked, and it did the same. I then went onto a couple of other boxes with EXACTLY the same MySQL install and they worked (added the auto_increment).
The box that fails is running Redhat 7.3 (for customer backward compatibilty). I dont have any other 7.3 boxes to try - everything else is newer. The my.cnf configuration files are pretty much the same on all installs. The version we are using is (tarball install)... mysql-standard-4.1.16-pc-linux-gnu-i686 The box where it doesnt work is the one on which it is most needed! Many Regards, Ian.
