Resolved this myself an hour or so after I posted it.
This system used to go by another name and, related to this in some twisted
way, were
the following erroneous files:
/sys/newhostname -> /usr/sys/oldhostname #symlink
/usr/sys/oldhostname #directory
I removed these (and recreated the symlink to point to /usr/sys/newhostname
and doconfig ran successfully.
Regards
Duncan
