Thanks. That does seem to be what's happening. I've put traces in 
polygate~ and a few others and the rate is zero even when specified on 
the command line. It does seem that the rate is set after the patches 
are loaded and initialised, which is where a lot of external patches get 
their rate from

I've written a very simple source code patch (which I'll post if 
anyone's interested) that is more of a hack than a fix but it works for 
the moment if you specify -r <rate> on the commandline - it certainly 
rescued my project in the short term! I'm going to keep investigating 
though because I think it could do with a proper fix :-)
