Yeah - CDATA in an attribute - I figured that's where it was choking - now that I think of it, not the best idea anyway. The attribute meant for a very small amount of text, like the title of a button. That's why it was in an attribute. The reason for CDATA was because it will be HTML formatted text.
I put the value in it's own node instead and it works OK now.
