The wire loop when pushed toward the shaft allows the rosette to

The rosette only comes out a small distance before it's stopped by the
sleeve.

Under that are two screws that you can possibly undo without removing
the knob.
On the shaft near the inner knob there should be a small slot
containing a spring loaded pin, which when pushed allows the knob to
be turned (anticlockwise I think) for a fraction of a turn then pulled
straight off.

I guess you mean the slot is at the knob end. Nothing there that I can
see. Am I going blind?

There must be a slot or a hole in the shaft between the knob and the
door. Maybe the rosette is covering it. You need to poke something in
that hole to allow the knob to turn on the shaft.
I don't have a similar lock in this house and I can't find any
pictures of it on the Net. The Schlage websites are completely
inadequate in describing this very common problem - how to remove the
damn knob.
