Apologies for spamming the list, folks. I've just realised that it does in fact work. It turns out that because we haven't installed source control yet, when I tried this it had actually been using an older version of the properties file, that contains an invalid path (a non-escaped backslash is present), when I tried this.
So, the suggestion does work. Thanks, Dominique. As I said: one of those days :( I need a pint. >Update: >Oops. My mistake, no it doesn't :/ Ack, it's going to be one of those >days.
