I tried this before but it did not work, so I gave up.

In the end the cure was to touch all the files it complained were 
missing and magically it fixed itself - I gave up too early.

My 'duh' moment was a long one :(

I have this on my shelf, have read it, used it - and did not think of 
consulting it :-((

Duh++ (or Duh#)

Thanks to all for the help.
