Thanks for both your replies. Ygor's reply is the one that seems to be working better for me, but the systems I use are very clunky so don't discount methyl's answer.
With Ygor's code I am now receiving an attachment, with the correct file name, however the file is empty, however I can see that the correct is on box, populated and ready to be attached.
I receive the following error at the end of my script run:
uuencode: illegal option -- base64
So I gather its the way I am encoding this attachment that is the problem. I don't know what exact uuencode I am using or the encoding options open to me, the actual uuencode file date is 2005. What other encoding options are there? My system is likely to use the most awkward one so lots of suggestions are welcome! Thanks

sendmailconfig
SENDMAILCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual SENDMAILCONFIG(8)
NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems
SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload]
DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.
In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will
preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.
Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
avoid this question.
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
actual sendmail configuration file
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration
/etc/mail/sendmail.ct
names of trusted users in the standard configuration
