XP SP3 here, GiP 2.94

I get "The syntax of the command is incorrect". :-(

However, running the pvr in full, it is now working. :-)
The only significant change seems to be the naming of the file
starting with ONCE. Does that make a difference? Does GiP treat these 
jobs differently? Normally they are deleted after a successful 
execution.

Me too. I would rather have "brand" PIDs in the PVR than name matches
for a lot of what I download. If they all have to start with ONCE, I
can deal with that.

Thanks again. I think I can now set up recursive jobs that will work.
