I have now got this working... created a new functions.php file etc... 🙂
I see you got the problem resolved. For reference, you need to have the following line at the top of all functions.php files when you use Genesis:
//* Start the engine include_once( get_template_directory() . '/lib/init.php' );
I'm not sure if you were missing that but it's a required line so that may have been the problem.
Also, when you're getting that blank white screen, enable WP Debug in your wp-config.php file (just change the word false to true). This will print an error to the screen that you can use to troubleshoot or paste into support forums so someone else can better assist.

Thanks Ren,
All I did at first was to copy the functions.php from the genesis which doesn't have that code...
but has:
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/lib/init.php' );
and thanks for this...
I have looked at http://ameliabriscoe.com/creating-your-genesis-child-theme/
which is very clear.... is there a Studiopress instructions for setting up child theme? (I am probably being an idiot but I could't see it)
