Thanks - I did try that - it worked OK for themes and files but not modules.

I did this to try and fix the database values I could see

update system set filename = concat('sites/all/', filename)  where name
in (...);

But I no longer got the content from these modules I was expecting - so
I moved it all back again.

It just seemed like a common enough error that there might be a "right
way" to fix it ...
