Thanks to all for the suggestions, unfortunately non of them solved
the problem. I finally got the time to call the Apple help line
(expecting to have to hold on for a long time) but , surprise
surprise, I got straight through. After trying another account the
answer was to do an Archive and Install which took less than half an
hour and low and behold the 10.4.1 update was there and it installed
without any problems at all.

Adrian,
I think I remember your first question being that while you had the
updater
some Macs accepted it and others did Not.
I suggest you check Hard drive driver version and firmware versions
and compare
what is on the various Macs.
Careful... they may actually need different Firmware versions.

I checked the system updater at home this morning, there was a DVD
player update but no 10.4.1. Half hour later I checked from one
of the remaining iMacs I hadn't yet updated and there it was, then
checked the iBook there was 6 other updates but no 10.4.1, checked
at home again 10 minutes ago and no update, all have the original
ram as installed at the factory.

It has been reported in the past that some makes of non Apple RAM
(unsupported) has caused this type of problem. If you have fitted
additional RAM which was non genuine Apple it would be worth
trying to do the update installation after removing this RAM. You
can add the additional RAM back after completing the update.

The update was downloaded from http://www.apple.com/support/
downloads/macosxupdate1041.html All the machines are of the
same vintage (2 eMacs and 6 flat panel iMacs) and were purchased
at the same time, except to say that the iBook had a 900 Mhz.
motherboard installed under warranty a few months ago. My home
machine, a 1 Ghz. 17" flat panel iMac Super Drive wont accept the
update and a friend who has a 1 Ghz. eMac tells me that his wont
either, The update was only downloaded once.
I now wait with interest to see what happens when it becomes
available via the Systems Updater.
Having Fun!
