Thank you to both Hisham and Michael for the pointers - this does indeed
explain what I was doing wrong.

For the record, the correct way to specify the enum in the record's fields
member is:

    {
        "name": "Test",
        "type": "record",
        "fields": [
            { 
                "name": "Suit", 
                "type": {
                    "type": "enum",
                    "name": "Suit",
                    "symbols" : ["SPADES", "HEARTS", "DIAMONDS", "CLUBS"]
                }
            }
        ]
    }
