I have tried both methods and still see the same problems, change the SID
using profiles on the one i have copied over on a clean machine and
changing the servers SID haven't helped. I can create a new user and copy
my complete profile across without the NTUSER.DAT fine, it's when I copy
this so it must be something in the profile it's not unique to me though
as other users notice it.

Any other ideas or do I need to re-create users from scratch and try and
recreate their profiles?
