MBP High Sierra = No updates....

Hi All,

I have a 15" 2016 MBP running OSX 10.13. For some reason whenever I attempt to do an update I get:


"We could not complete your update. Unknown Error"


Triggering it from the command line using


softwareupdate -l


gives the following errors in the /private/var/log/install.log file:


Adding client SUUpdateServiceClient pid=4745, uid=0, installAuth=NO rights=(), transactions=0 (/usr/sbin/softwareupdate)

I've not messed with any permissions... Anyone have any ideas?
