OK. I figured out where the flaw in my logic was.
I didn't realise that when you set a function/onXXXXX in the Options
it really adds them as an event to the object, so in effect I was just
adding additional events for the Request to perform without overriding
the earlier defined event.
I can use the same object now if I remove the events via removeEvents
('onComplete') and then set call setOptions with the one event I
really want to execute.
