After testing the files downloaded with this script, I realised the files 
themselves were corrupted, so updated my wrapper script to use this syntax for 
the actual downloading;

  /usr/bin/gkermit -d /tmp/kermit-send.log -Xis $FILE

-X means eXternal - seemed appropriate
 i means Binary mode transfer (default) but wanted to force it to make sure
 s means Send with the filename as the argument

Reckon this is good to go now =)

... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.
