Great - that's fixed the problem with the wrong wiki being generated for links 
in the main wiki  - Thanks a lot :-)

However, we are still getting the "/bin/bin/" being generated in every link (I 
have not added /bin to the xwiki alias or xwiki.cfg) so the  links are still 
non-functional :-(

Is there somewhere I should look to try to work out what is happening with the 
URL generation?

Thanks for your help,

Tim
