I decided to clear down the parent just in case, this made no odds. The child is failing with the 80040406 error. I have been through the Sophos articles for this error and cleared down the Working and Warehouse folders and then tried to update again with no luck. Here are some errors from the SUMTrace log file, which may provide a clue...? (i have removed server names)

I have checked all the URLs it is trying to pull the data from and the files named above exist and open correctly from the child server using IE.
