Sorry, my reports were written ages ago and since then I've never changed the 
contents of config.user.

Though I did read http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports I missed the 
subtle difference in

>     (load "/path/to/my/personal/report.scm") ;; Linux and OS X


and missed completely

A clear case of wanting to read what I wanted to read.


Where I got the information from was within the file

taxinvoice.scm

on this site
