    Try adding a “render” tag to the object (under rt click, hair tags, render).
    I had this problem with thinking particles linked to a tracer object last night.

    Thanks for that. But no joy : ( Still not working.
    Here are some frame grabs. This is driving me nuts.

    Not too necessary for that few pieces to simplify the geometry to hair material. Sweep it!

    If you are looking for it to be organic and flowy, you can create a connected tracer object to 2 point selections, and convert current state of the object. Then break it down into desired subdivisions.
