I was missing the _acfnonce. It might be worth updating the development documents to specify this as it’s not anywhere on the net that I could find easily!

for reference my code was

<?php 
$nonce = wp_create_nonce( 'acf_form' );

$args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'id'					=> 'acf-form',
		'post_id'				=> false,
		'new_post'				=> false,
		'field_groups'			=> false,
		'fields'				=> false,
		'post_title'			=> false,
		'post_content'			=> false,
		'form'					=> true,
		'form_attributes'		=> array(),
		'return'				=> add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', $url ),
		'html_before_fields'	=> '',
		'html_after_fields'		=> '',
		'submit_value'			=> __("Update", 'acf'),
		'updated_message'		=> __("Post updated", 'acf'),
		'label_placement'		=> 'top',
		'instruction_placement'	=> 'label',
		'field_el'				=> 'div'
	));
?>
<form id="post" class="acf-form" action="" method="post" autocomplete="off" enctype="">
<input type="hidden" name="_acfnonce" value="<?php echo $nonce; ?>">
<? acf_hidden_input(array( 'name' => '_acf_form', 'value' => base64_encode(json_encode('$args')) )); ?>
...rest of form ...

I don’t know if there is a shorter way, but this works for now!
