Default Damn/musty smell when the aircon starts

My Mondeo was bought new in December, and now has 6K on the clock. (Trend wagon, Sept build).

In the last month, when ever I start the car, and the aircon kicks in, I get an awful damp/wet/musty.moldy smell fill the car for around 20 seconds, and then subsides.

Has anyone had this and know what is the cause?

I took it in, but they had a 'NO fault found'. They claim they checked the aircon, and saw no leaks or anything, so it's fine. They put some nice smelly stuff somewhere - but I can't smell that over the overwhelming smell of damn.

Has anyone seen this or can advise what to do?
