Ok - I stopped the avahi service and then started it again with the --debug 
switch, this generated avahi_start.txt (attached).  Henry is my server, scotty 
is my desktop from which I'm doing this.

I waited for about five minutes and then tried:
$ getent hosts henry.local

which returned nothing at the cli but one line was added to the log:
27/01/2012 18:02:03	scotty	avahi-daemon[5606]	simple-protocol.c: Got 
RESOLVE-HOSTNAME-IPV4 request for 'henry.local'.

I immediately tried my Ubuntu laptop which worked as expected. A second 
attempt on my desktop did not yield any different results.

I restarted avahi-daemon and tried again immediately and correctly got the 
resolved address at the cli with the same message in the logs as above.

Wait a couple of minutes and back to the same problem. Just to make sure I 
tried to resolve the hostname of the laptop and this did not work either.
