Occam's Razor! The simplest solution turns out to be the best. Opened one of the RTF files that Calibre rejected and changed a single character space and then just saved the file. It then worked correctly in Calibre. Clearly this was/is a case of the RTF files that I'm using not having been properly compiled.

Many thanks!
