HOLD ON I think my libs are out of sync, I need to do an opkg upgrade I think, if the latest qtopia 
is expecting 2008.8 libs.

I'll do opkg upgrade and try again. I was seeing some odd message in the logs about libs and versions.

The problem stems from the fact I used the script you suggested to upgrade qtopia rather than 
reflash the rootfs, but this leaves the kernel and libs out of sync.

I'll report back in a sec...
