I'd forgotten about this, although I mentioned it a few posts back:

# locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en-GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en-GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en-GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en-GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en-GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en-GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en-GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en-GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en-GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en-GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en-GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en-GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en-GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Looks like there are still locale issues...
