an update
After investigating MS SQL 2005 tools was installed on the server. It ‘looks’ like MS SQL 2005 was installed on this server and then removed but the tools stayed behind in the D:\Apps\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn location.
If you run the SQLCMD in the route folder D:\Apps\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\binn (SQL 2008 R2) version then it works …
