Sorry for the delayed response @Stout77, I’ve been away the last week and a bit.
The encoded reponse is the uri on the line line starting renderer.js:34 [15:04:21.755] IPC.js: Successfully encoded auth response. .
So you need to fire up the script (once the inital server is running), with the uri and PID as a flag. This will pass siccessfully trigger the IPC receipt in the main safe-drive script and you can progress from there 
eg:
node ./safenetwork-fuse/bin --uri safe-c2...<that whole uri> --pid <the PID output from the server
