May have solved the issue.  Thank you for your help.  

> What do you get from this?

I get:
thomasthorne@thorne-ul-dt:~/work/rpi-layer/build$ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | 
grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS="tar.xz ext3"
IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.xz ext3"

Presumably because I have in my local.conf:
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.xz ext3"

If I update that to be "tar.xz ext3 sdimg" I get error messages such as:
$ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES
ERROR:

That might help.  I seem to now get:

$ bitbake rpi-test-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_FSTYPES
IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS="tar.xz ext3 rpi-sdimg"
IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.xz ext3 rpi-sdimg"

So the system is happy with the rpi-sdimg but not sdimg on its own.  

Now when I perform `$ bitbake rpi-test-image` I get a few warnings about 
license files and then the baking seems to fail with an error about "dd: failed 
to open '/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3-20161103111232.rootfs.rpi-sdimg': 
Permission denied". That is documented as do_image_rpi_sdimg failed with 
oe-core in krogoth branch 
https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/issues/30 for the meta-raspberrypi 
layer.  That error is resolved on a krogoth specific branch for the 
meta-raspberrypi later.  Checking out that branch instead of master allows the 
SD card image creation to succeed.  I can now see sdimg files:

$ ls tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/*.rpi-sdimg
tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3-20161103113408.rootfs.rpi-sdimg
tmp/deploy/images/raspberrypi3/rpi-test-image-raspberrypi3.rpi-sdimg

Once again thank you for your assistance.  

If you use the Raspberry Pi StackExchange site, please add your suggestion of 
including rpi-sdimg as an answer to 
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/57155/how-do-i-used-yocto-to-build-an-sdcard-image-for-my-raspberry-pi-3-model-b
  If you do not use that site then I will add an answer with an attribution to 
you & this list later today.
