Finally cracked this - it was another firewall port which was closing itself even though rule was set to keep it open.
Deleted firewall rule and it worked then.
Thanks for the help.
When logging was initialised I got the following:

I also have bpcd file which contains the following:

Also PDplugin.log wasn't created even though configured in config files - backup didn't get that far.
Do I need to set credentials for this client server for the appliances like I have for the media servers ?
Thanks again.
