git-send-email invokes the cc-cmd like this:

   $cc-cmd $patchfilename

so, when you used 'cat cc-cmd' as the value of --cc-cmd, your 
invocation
became:

   cat cc-cmd $patchfilename

and since 'cat' copies the concatenation of its input files to its
output, that explains why you first saw the names from your 'cc-cmd'
file followed by the content of the patch file.

Many thanks, that seems to explain everything!

I may try and do a small doc patch for the git-send-email.txt man 
page (I
have a few doc fixes backing up waiting to be done ;-)

That would be welcome. I don't think it's mentioned at all in
git-send-email.txt that the --to-cmd/--cc-cmd commands are handed the
patch pathname as an argument, so that's certainly something worth
documenting.

The other issue I noted was wondering what "auto-cc" is?

It's only mentioned the once in:
    --suppress-cc=<category>

Specify an additional category of recipients to suppress the auto-cc of:

Is it a sort of double negative? Certainly I had no idea what an auto-cc 
was ;-)
