Okay, well *now* it compiles (hangs head in shame at silly typos) and
runs (router survived the night)  The tc user interface is horrible in
that it needs warnings if trying to set a silly value (and also needs a
suitable scaling factor supplied eg. 300ms rather than just 300) but
fundamentally this parameter does get passed from user space to kernel
space and cake does indeed use this as an interval value.  Excuse me
while I say that's a result :-)

One thing I cannot suss out at the moment is why tc isn't reporting the
passed 'rtt' value on a 'tc -s qdisc' command.  It has to be a silly but
I can't work it out at the moment - please let me know if you can see
how I've been stupid.
