Problem solved.
The subdomain we were using contained an underscore.
test_site.ourdomain.com.au
Of course I never thought to include that in my emails to the list!
The underscore is not a valid domain name character. We switched to using a
hyphen and suddenly our cookies (and sessions) started working.

Kevan
