Thanks for that Kevin. I have it all working now.

Problems were
1) Mcafee & F-prot on the box where none of the updates worked were
installed in non standard locations by one of my admins (DOH!)

2) On all the other boxes the trend-wrapper reqires vscan to be in a sub
direcotry of bin within the base directory. I'm not sure why this should
be the case as the default install of trend installs in
/opt/trend/ISBASE/IScan.BASE/vscan not
/opt/trend/ISBASE/IScan.BASE/bin/vscan. I simply did:
cd /opt/trend/ISBASE/IScan.BASE
mkdir bin
mv vscan bin/
and all was well.

Thanks again
