Niall,

Make sure someone didn't try starting another instance.

 
That was my first thought too. I don't believe that to be the case here though.
 

Not sure why you require a trailing slash in your system.  I don't have trailing slash and all works fine.

. oraenv calls dbhome which greps /etc/oratab to set the ORACLE_HOME - in our oratab which had been manually edited the ORACLE_HOME string had a trailing slash. The instance would have originally been started after setting the environment using oraenv as well, so I think that that together with Dan and Dimitri's explanations nails the problem down.
 
Thanks everyone.
