I am having a problem. I built myself a nice big warehouse, but any time I move stuff from my ship to warehouse it all seems to go straight into rented storage, rather than my own building.

Also, when I got to the warehouse bit (above my office) there are no boxes of goods in the warehouse area, so i cant move them to my ship. When i used to play this on the amiga I swear there used to be boxes of goods in the warehouse.

Can anybody help? I must be doing something wrong but I can't think what. I want to build a new ship but I don't seem to be able to access my warehouse goods, except to sell them via the Big Book.

Warehouses take time to build, your warehouse was probably still under construction. In the warehouse interface, click on "ship" to switch to "warehouse". When "warehouse" is selected you can move goods from there to the ship.
