Hi all,
Actually - I've managed to sort this now. I don't know why I was getting the errors below, but I've found that I can install it directly using apt-get install fglrx-driver, if I enable the non-free Debian repositories. I'm still interested as to why the command below wasn't working, but I've got things working now - so I'm pleased.
Cheers,
Robin
