Thanks to everyone who replied - I downloaded the keps file from Amsat and loaded them from local file. I think Gpredict tries to load anything it finds in the local file directory you tell it to use, as long as it's ascii and looks like keplerian elements. Bernard - running GPredict 1.13 on Raspbian Wheezy. Installed via apt-get, so there is also a collection of stock config files in /usr/share/gpredict.
I run the same version under openSUSE 11. I haven't been able to install files for the newer birds directly from the Internet. I'm not sure if it's because of a bug in Gpredict.
As a result, I've installed the files for the new satellites by hand as I described with little problem, on the whole.
