I managed to get this to work by providing the TaskID which is supposed 
to be an optional argument.  I wonder if the win32com wrapper is 
stuffing this up.  Is late binding responsible perhaps?

So the code that works is...

proj.Tasks(3).Assignments.Add(TaskID= 3,ResourceID=2)

incidently this also works...

proj.Tasks(3).Assignments.Add(TaskID= 5,ResourceID=2)

which does seems a bit strange....
