Fnd_request.submit_request returning error

Question

All
I'm currently attempting to call several concurrent programs from a single parent pl/sql concurrent program using
fnd_request.submit_request
The main reason for not using a request set is that i need to pass return values from each conc prog to the next as input values, which by the looks of things cannot be done with a request set. (correct me if i'm wrong)..
The parent concurrent program code is as follows:
v_action := 'run file download stage'||utl_tcp.crlf;
-- Write to concurrent log.                         
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'v_action: '||v_action);
apps.fnd_profile.get('USER_ID', v_user_id);
apps.fnd_profile.get('RESP_ID', v_resp_id);
apps.fnd_profile.get('RESP_APPL_ID', v_resp_appl_id);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, v_user_id);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, v_resp_id);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, v_resp_appl_id);
--apps.fnd_global.apps_initialize(v_user_id,v_resp_id,v_resp_appl_id);
v_req_id := apps.fnd_request.submit_request
(application => 'GPMS_CUST',
program => 'GPMS_EXCH_RATES',
description => 'GPMS Exchange Rate Download - FTP stage',
     start_time => NULL,
sub_request => FALSE);
COMMIT;
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'apps.fnd_message.GET: '||apps.fnd_message.GET);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'0.5 v_req_id: '||v_req_id);
IF v_req_id != 0
THEN
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'1.0 '||v_req_id);
IF apps.fnd_concurrent.wait_for_request
(request_id => v_req_id,
interval => v_interval,
phase => v_req_phase,
status => v_req_status,
     dev_phase => v_req_dev_phase,
dev_status => v_req_dev_status,
message => v_req_message)
     THEN
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'1.1: '||v_req_dev_phase||' '||v_req_dev_status );
          IF v_req_dev_phase !='COMPLETE' OR v_req_dev_status != 'NORMAL'
          THEN
          apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'1.3');
          RETCODE :=2;
               errbuf := 'errbuf contents here***';
          ELSE
          RETCODE := 0;
          END IF;     
END IF;
     else
     apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log,'1.4: sqlerrm:'|| sqlerrm);
END IF;
This seems to return a conc request id of Zero ie did not run successfully along with an error message regarding FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT and an apparent missing sequence.
The concurrent Log returns
Start of log messages from FND_FILE
v_action: run file download stage
11170

apps.fnd_message.GET: ORACLE error -2289 in SUBMIT: others
Cause: SUBMIT: others failed due to ORA-02289: sequence does not exist.
The SQL statement being executed at the time of the error was: &SQLSTMT and was executed from the file &ERRFILE.
0.5 v_req_id: 0
1.4: sqlerrm:ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
End of log messages from FND_FILE
Has anyone seen this before, have any ideas why this is not working correctly
Thanks in advance

ok some extra info.. The parent code is being run from a custom schema with a synonym in apps
Also running the fnd_request.submit_request call in isolation from the apps schema returns a non zero conc req id ie successfully submits a request..
hence i'm thinking there is a schema/ grants/ synonym issue as the error returned essentially says a sequence cannot be seen
Would this be correct?
