Devils in the details. 
Now it returns 'ssh: Could not resolve host name .ssh/id_rsa.pub: Name or 
service not known

I've altered the syntax as:

Ssh-copy-id .ssh/id_rsa.pub root@server

Have I missed the syntax somehow?

Yes, or you should just be able to omit the -i option entirely, as long as the 
environment is set up (by using the '-' option with su) so it can find your 
$HOME directory.
