Just to summarise that I discovered shortly after posting that it was
due to the tftp command which i issued on my client.
Not fully noticing that tftpd sets /tcpdboot as its "home" direcory I
unknowing placed a /{pathname} before the file which i wanted to "put"
eg. c:\tftp <host> put 4690.conf /tmp/4690.conf
Simply removing the /tmp/ from the put command worked a treat. However
there was a typo in my original post (nice work Crist J Clark for
spotting that one- my bad after having tcpd on the brain...) /tcpdboot
and not /tftpboot.
Also Gerard Henry noticed a wierness in hosts.allow for the netmask
after a host, I actually discovered during the setup of tcpd that the
/32 notation after an IP address ( 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255 ) doesn't
actually work and omitting everything after the host IP (/ onwards)
actually works fine! As well as 0.0.0.0 being *everything* working
which Gerard pointed out.
Thanks to all who emailed me with a reply, some close but no cigar sadly ;)

dan.
