No output to send, option is taken from the GUI under Media / Save Sets  (right 
mouse click to select clone). I have checked it has run ok by performing a 
mminfo on the SSID which shows it is intwo locations. 

It has been worrking ok since but I need to know if it is a timing issues  
(suspect it is)
