Ok found it , I had run dpkg reconfigure on something and it had blown 
out part of the xorg.conf  file but not the vnc section so I did not 
spot it.

the following three lines were removed from the "Screen" section:

Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth"
Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth"
Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"


Maybe something could be done ot improve the misleading error message to 
indicate what the specific problem is.

main:        No password configured for VNC Auth

Impressice error trapping can be very misleading and waste an awful lot 
of time
