Hi Longtail

It turns out the problem is to do with the version of diskpart being used. I was using version 1.0.3.1 as this is the version stored in the support folders of our servers. It turns out that Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2003 places version 5.2.3790.3959 of diskpart in Windows\System32, and this is the version I should have been using to extend the partition. It is this version that supports the "extend filesystem" command.
