You do notice the different prompt here?
user@machine ....

you did write
  Now here is an interesting thing:

  I have just done:
  rob@rob-Z97:~$ cd /mnt/CCTV/PiZero
  bash: cd: /mnt/CCTV/PiZero: No such file or directory

and I think Dennis tried to tell you that you are on the wrong machine.

Can you see that you tried to cd to /mnt/CCTV/PiZero on machine rob-Z97
and not on the pi?

Then the prompt would look like pi@raspberrypi.
You showed us rob@rob-Z97
