what causing this? ( see image )
I get these strange dark lines with heavy use of volumetrics, any ideas
( and its not ray depth etc in the options, they're all on 50 )

I've seen that before. Try toning down your samples for the light...I think that was the trick.

Stab in the dark here Squid but try reducing the ray depth and see if it gets a lot worse :)

No, 99% positive it is the sample distance.
Decrease the sample distance in the visability tab of the light.
