Unfortunately the quick tests in the link you provided require access to the server root (even if your site is in a subfolder), but I only have access to my subdirectory (and anything within that). I'll chase the web hosts now.
However the quick test will be useful once they set AllowOverride to 'All' (assuming that is the problem) as it will help eliminate any issues with my Cake setup so thanks again.

However in this case on someone else's server I'm in a sub folder but it is accessed by users via the full path like this…

The details of what is going on are below, including everything I've tried, but my conclusion is that it is probably something as simple as AllowOverride isn't set to 'all'. The guys who run the server only take instructions from the customer via a ticket system (fair enough) so it is a slow operation to get changes made or details of configs out of them etc. I'd like to have some facts to approach them with rather than go fishing. Is there something I can do to test this?
