 Of course, it was perfectly fine to include the logs, they were

Thats okay don't worry.

I applied the patch over lunchtime and gave it a quick try and it seems
to be working. I'll try a few more tests when I get some more time.

Thanks for the response. I'm glad it was a bug that could be easily
fixed rather than me not understanding how things were supposed to
work! :-)

 I won't include all the logs again (Maybe the length put people off
 reading it!) but I'll just ask the question:
