I did some more digging and found the 2.2.13 patch only gives you 

#define LVM_DRIVER_IOP_VERSION          5      

The 0.8final requires

#define LVM_DRIVER_IOP_VERSION          6

So I grabed lvm_0.8-pre02.10.1999.tar.gz

That gave me the lvm tools that matched the kernel  :-)

So now I have disk space to spare I will look at some of the 2.3.X patches 
and see if they go on to the 2.2.15 kernel :-)

Regards,
Tom.
