Thanx Craig, And yes - you're right. I did eventually find that - for push, the sounds *must* be in the app bundle.

From what I have managed to find online, the read/write area is "Documents" so I should be able to save them there, and play them from there I presume. Does that mean that if I currently use Apple push to play the sound file "Sounds/Electrical.caf" can I now change that to "Documents/Electrical.caf" and that will work? Or have I missed something? I've tried googling the file structure of an app, but haven't found the right search terms yet.
