Now that's very interesting. I hadn't tried that option, and I'll tell 
you why. The exiv2 man page describes the -pv switches as equivalent to 
-pxgnycv, and so when I tried
   exiv2 -pv
and that *didn't* show the tags, I assumed they weren't there. But I've 
now tried exiv2 -px on its own and I can see the tags.

I've also got exiftool running now too but exiv2 -px is a bit more 
elegant I think.

Thanks,
