Following up to myself - suddenly thought "I know what's wrong". So I
stopped the array, and of course couldn't access it, it was no longer
there. So I assembled but didn't run it, and it worked fine.
Simples, once you realise what's wrong - you can ADD devices to a
running array, but you can't REMOVE them.
Cheers,
