Found it!  It's a long-standing and well-documented (but alas un-fixed) 
bug in gdm.  Whatever your system configuration it overrides it and 
forces you to 0022.

Once I'd worked out it was only happening when I logged in through gdm, 
the rest was easy.  Thank you for listening (seriously).

Cheers,
John
