The /etc/rc.conf entry:

was fine since:
natd_interface="ep0"
specified the interface.
All in all I just should have posted the whole of my /etc/rc.conf in the
first place.
Sorry about that.
The real irony is that it was working all along!!
I just didn't know because i was trying to access the service on the
external IP address of my router from an internal IP address.
When I tried to access it via. my other connection (in effect from
outside) everything worked fine.
I'm sure that there is some reasonable explanation for this to do with
the way that NAT operates but I can't figure it out.
Fact is, natd _only_ redirects from the interface is was told to bind to.
I'm not exactly sure why the packets don't route out and back in when you
try it from inside, but they don't ;( so you always need to test it from
the external interface.
