On further investigation there are two things going on. First the 
error message was overwriting itself onto one line, so sticking a \n 
into the s2p script solved that annoyance. Then after further 
fiddling I realised that setting the fileformat=unix rather than dos 
(in vim) solved the problem. The script wasn't apparently built for 
cross platform work!

Thanks for the prompt response.

C.
