OK. This looks like it is getting close to the source of the problem.
The widget is based in an IFrame setup, but I thought I setup the SID
properly for that? Essentially I have set a variable in the main 
template and then I use this to pass the SID on to the Iframe. Is this
not the way to do it?

Sounds like you have hit the source of the problem. All I need now
is the solution to the problem :)
