That fixed it!  Thanks so much!

I'll set about re-factoring to try and stop passing the context object
about so freely!  I have to say this was my first app using catalyst that
started a few years ago and has grown in a fairly haphazard way as I've
learnt more, and more has been demanded/asked for from the app by the end
users.  Kudos to you guys for creating this awesome framework that has
allowed me to stumble along and already successfully rewrite major portions
of it without having to tear the entire thing down each time!
