Hi Henry,

Thanks for that information. I will change this so that is is looking
under the same folder as the standard template for KiCad as that is
where the templates should reside, it'll be where they end up through
the KiCad install process.

Hopefully I'll get to look at this tonight (In around 10-12hrs)

Best Regards, Brian.
