thanks, the other link helped but there are still errors in all the 
various instructions
one error not noted was the /etc/defaults/virtualbox file it - cannot 
have spaces!
it should be

# virtualbox defaults file
VBOXAUTOSTART_DB=/etc/vbox
VBOXAUTOSTART_CONFIG=/etc/vbox/autostart.cfg

My server has a very well exercised reboot as I have finally got it done
Thanks for all the pointers, finally have something that seems to be 
reliable.
