So, bit longer than a 'jiffy' in getting back here..
I suspect it may have been the installer used in 13.10. I finally, out of sheer
frustration, tried Kxstudio from a USB stick. 12.0.3 386. Installed first time and rEFIt
picked it up 1st boot thereafter with the boot loader installed to sda3.
Shame... While Kxstudio is, and has been my go-to distro for a long time, I liked how the
kernel and several other automagic setup tools worked.
Thnx much for your input gentlemen.
Cheers!

I'm about to retry efforts with this shortly. This time from the Ubuntu installer
(13.10... I like how this version functions overall vs 12.04 or 14.04 & 15.04 last
tried) & and shall report back in two shakes! :)
There was one version of ubuntustudio/kubuntu where efi installs did not work... I think
it was before 13.10, but I could be wrong. The name got changed in grub to Ubuntustudio
rather than just Ubuntu and as it happens this same variable got used for naming the efi
partition/directory. The grub name has gone back to Ubuntu in the last few releases (14.04
and 14.10 for sure)
There was a file in /etc/default/grub.d that has since been removed. it would have the
text ubuntustudio as part of the name... After a reboot and sw update the next reboot
should be ok... I think. Or remove the file and redo ...
