It's totally normal for DSLRs to have dust on the sensor, Ian. And as someone mentioned, you can't get water/moisture on the sensor just be changing the lens even with the camera switched on.
I change lenses a lot on my camera and I'm pretty sloppy about where I do it, so there's a lot of dust and crap on my lenses and sensor. But in most situations it simply doesn't show up. In the f/16 against a blue sky shots, you just need to get used to using the clone tool in PS - but I bet most people's DSLRs will show dust spots in those circumstances.
If it doesn't show up in your normal shots, you should ignore it. But turn on the in-camera sensor cleaning, and blow out the sensor chamber with a hand blower (not aerosol spray).

Hi Pinhole,
Thanks for that
I used the spot removal tool in Lightroom to get rid of those spots on the one shot I have in the gallery here... the rather boring pic of fresh rose leaves, which I'm using for my avatar just now.
Nice clear blue sky though, thanks to LR! I guess they designed that tool for just this reason..?! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
