This looks to be my mistake. I had the -ss & -t in the wrong place, they
needed to be before the input.

ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10.052 -t 00:00:31.949 -i D:\stitchtest\full.mov -ss
00:01:12.114 -t 00:09:07.422 -i D:\stitchtest\full.mov -ss 00:10:49.608 -t
00:06:19.797 -i D:\stitchtest\full.mov -ss 00:16:57.767 -t 00:06:27.262 -i
 D:\stitchtest\full.mov -ss 00:24:25.089 -t 00:00:14.974 -i
D:\stitchtest\full.mov -filter_complex

Thanks for your assistance.
