An update:

All now looks as it should. I really did see a "noindex" page in the SERPS - not just URL-only. But all have disappeared.

MSNdude - the "dup content worry" was because I have 5 different ways of displaying the same page/content. 4 have "noindex" set - so SEs only get the one standard page (users can reformat if they like after they have arrived). But last week I noticed one ot the "noindex" pages in search.msn.com - hence the panic.

And thanks for putting me straight on robots.txt/noindex meta conflict. Will let bots in to see the noindex.

Thanks all.
