Thank you Ross for the pointer about my tool chain.
I have now found a much more comprehensive import tool set and am able
to produce the picture that I am looking for.

Thanks,
I will now go away and look into using a different tool set to get
the data into QGIS.

Ok.
So looking at this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1693549
The riverbank multipolygon is closed otherwise this would not
render. It is a relation made up of 5 ways.
Are you sure you are loading all the data?
There are also limits on how many nodes you can have in a way,
that's why larger lakes rivers etc are made up of numerous
ways in a multipolygon relation.
I'd suggest rather than changing the osm data you modify the
data in QGIS and then generate the map.

yes I would just be closing the river bank ways.
And yes I am tagging for the renderer. I am making maps for
my employer, in QGIS and mapinfo, and wanted to use the OMS
data imported as lines and polygons as part of my background.
For this to work with the QGIS importer the river banks need
to be closed so as to become polygons.

Guess it depends on how you go about this.
I'm guessing that you intend to create
waterway=riverbank[1] multipolygons for the rivers and
leave the waterway=river[2] in place marking the
centerline of the river.
If so should not be a problem.
Be careful that you are not tagging for the renderer
though. As this:
"Having the wide rivers as closed objects means that
waterways import as polygons and that makes making good
looking maps easier."
sounds very much like manipulating the data to create the
output you want.

HI,
I recently downloaded the openstreetmap data for parts
of South East Queensland. When I imported this data
into GIS, I found that the waterways were not always
closed objects. Having the wide rivers as closed objects
means that waterways import as polygons and that makes
making good looking maps easier.
Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I closed the
waterway ways on the wider rivers in SEQ?
