Erm, I have now solved this :-/

I posted after spending hours on this last Friday, as soon as I post, I find
out the problem immediately!

I was putting HEAD in the top selection and the revision number I wanted below,
it should have been the other way around.

Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time on this.

Regards,
Richard.
