So my Mac Pro is now thankfully working again.

The trick to reseting the SMC on my machine is to unplug all cables open the case and press the SMC reset button, then leave the machine alone for at least 20 minutes. Only then reconnect the power lead and try starting the machine up.

I have this problem with an early 2009 Mac Pro.

The first time it happened I booked it in at the nearest Apple store, but of course it started first time for the technician. He showed me how to reset the SMC, which was good cause when I got it home it wouldn't start up again. Eventually the SMC reset trick worked, and it ran fine for the next couple of months. But now I have the same problem again so once I have got all my data backed up I will be requesting a replacement.
