Sorry, I though you meant start it in first, rather than start it and then change into first!

Next obvious question: Is the clutch cable moving freely through the outer?

No it isn't. There should be no movement or gaps between the plates. If there is the most likely cause is the pressure plate isn't engaged properly with the basket and as a result the pull rod won't do its job either. Did you remember the thrust washer before refitting anything else? Did you remember the anti-judder seat and spring, which must be fitted the right way round (marked 'outside'). Are the plate tabs correctly located in the correct slots marked with triangles on the basket? The first (innermost) friction plate fits into the deeper right-hand slot (looking when the slots are at the top) and the final friction plate goes in the shallow left-hand slot.
