*****UPDATE: PROBLEM FIXED**************************************** 

I have fixed the problem - i forgot to register matlab as an automation server, i now have the option to save models as *XML files - but i guess it doesnt put an 'export' option on the simmechanics menu within solidworks. 

Hopefully that bit of info will help somebody else with the same problem
