Hey Paul,
It looks like you are generating the Server Relative URL for your new site
relative to the site collection's root web, when your intent is to actually
create the new site as a child of the 'current' site?
If so, I think the problem is that:
string parentWeb = siteCollection.ServerRelativeUtl;
should be:
string parentWeb = SPContext.Current.Web.ServerRelativeUrl;
The site collection's relative URL will always be the relative URL of the
top-level site, rather than the URL of the 'current' site.
Joe.
