I have solved my issue! I have seen in a previous forum post that the version numbers in the _hw.tcl and the _sw.tcl files must match. This is not the tools version number but the component version number.

My version number in both the hardware and software tcl files did match. However they were three digits long (3.3.0). I have since changed this to 9.1 as all the examples use this and my source code is now included in my BSP. I'm not sure if this is because they were 3 digits long or because the version needs to equal the tools in use..... either way I don't care, its working!

I hope this helps others.
