If anyone is interested I fixed this problem in a sudden (rare) moment of
inspiration...
in the htaccess statement I had put ErrorDocument 404
http://www.mysite.com/error/error.php rather than /error/error.php
This caused apache to basically start a separate request rather then pass it
on thru, which explains why the variables were as they were and why the
status was 401 rather than 404.
Obvious really when one thinks about it.
Thanks for you advice tho tim, much appreciated.
Tom
