Output from various things I tried here:-

[jamesk@athena: ~]$ sudo find / -name ssh-add
Password:
/usr/bin/ssh-add

[jamesk@athena: ~]$ strings /usr/bin/ssh-add | grep libexec
[jamesk@athena: ~]$


[jamesk@athena: ~]$ locate ssh-add
/usr/bin/ssh-add
/usr/share/man/man1/ssh-add.1.gz
/usr/src/openssh-4.2p1/ssh-add.0
/usr/src/openssh-4.2p1/ssh-add.1
/usr/src/openssh-4.2p1/ssh-add.c

However Lucas Nussbaum sorted it out

[jamesk@athena: ~]$ echo $SSH_ASKPASS
/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass

This is getting set by the /etc/profile.d I added, sorry to waste 
your time, it is my non-standard bit of config that is causing the 
issue.
