It is always the simple things...
I had to run dos2unix on all the files before sed would work as
expected. A hexeditor can be a wonderful thing.
Basically
find /path/to/files -type f -exec dos2unix \{\} \;
find /path/to/files -type f -exec sed -i "s/,,$/,/" \{\} \;
find /path/to/filestype -type f -exec unix2dos \{\} \;
Thanks for the replies.
Cheers
