General: - C 70 Immobiliser won't reset

Car is a 2006 'new style' C70. I went to the shops OK this morning but on returning to the car everything worked except the starter didn't turn, no click or anything. After a few tries the message 'immobiliser see handbook' appeared. The handbook being useless on this subject I tried locking and unlocking the car several times. My wife brought the spare set of keys all to no avail.
I called the recovery but they could find nothing wrong, even tried resetting everything by disconnecting the battery, but after a couple of hours messing about the message changed to 'low battery'. The recovery guy tried jumping the battery but to no effect. being a Saturday there was nowhere to go but recover the car to home and wait until Monday. A check for error messages shows nothing though would these show without the engine running? The car did 2 15 mile trips yesterday and 300 miles on Wednesday so the battery should have been well charged.

So now the car is parked up the road in a safe place so as not to block in the rest of the family. is it OK to take the battery out and charge it overnight? Has anybody any suggestions about the immobiliser?
