Thanks for the input Rob.
It is worse than I thought... Using trace(XML(evt.result).toXMLString()); as 
you suggested, I 
see I am not getting authorisation because the setRemoteCredentials function 
isn't being 
properly received...  The xml returned is:

I am somewhat concerned that perhaps I am not connecting via a secure 
connection.( 
"Calls to the authentication module must be made via an HTTPS connection.")  
And wonder 
whether  I need to write a services-config.xml file in order to establish https?
