Hi Phil,
I am not certain, but you may have encountered bug 16885: 
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885

There's been a discussion thread on this that might help you know 
whether this is your problem:

If this is the problem, you could add yourself to the cc list for that bug.

I hope this helps,
