It works in so far as the command is accepted and there is no error, but
having changed the default route and then doing a upload by ftp I can see
that both lines are still getting 1/2 of the outgoing packets.

I am fairly sure about this because both lines are adsl, when the upstream
is saturated the latency goes up and this is reflected in graphs that our
isp make available, the line with 600kbit upload has noticeably higher
latency, the line with 800kbit does not.

Have you verified that it does actually distribute the packets in a
different ratio? I think multipath is just random.
