NP - as it hjappens the while issue has become irrelevant as I couldn't 
get the tags written into the new file. Some spacky variable 
substitution vs. quoting sh*te which I couldn't overcome...

until I found vorbiscomment:

vorbiscomment "$sourcefile$ | vorbiscomment -a "$destfile"

does the job all on its own!

Cheers anyway, I've learnt much in the process which is, it its own way, 
just as important.
