Just for completeness, I've found the solution.

I googled some more as none of my other snaps were working and found a little 
tidbit I hadn’t come across before.
It mentioned something about using the mount system for /root.
My /root was a symlink to /home/root. 
I deleted the symlink
Created a new /root folder
Created a mount entry in /etc/fstab:
/data/home/root /root none rbind
Now my snaps are working.
The full thread where I got this from is here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1729576 the comment in 
question is #13.
Thank you again for your help.
