To me this looks like checkmate, black wins (ie. ME). Can anyone tell my why it has come up as a draw?

White is not in check and is unable to move without putting himself in check. It's stalemate, pure and simple.

Rh6 was the winning move.

A rough way to learn about stalemates, to be sure, but at least you're not likely to forget it any time soon.
