Sorry guys. I went away on holiday ( with the dolly) and forgot to post the happy ending.
I took and applied all the good advice posted here and went one step further. I had two 20" pieces of two inch angle iron welded ( with the point up) to the dolly, to form a physical obstruction to prevent the tires from rolling. Coupled with the straps and chains, I have managed to eliminate the tire movement altogether. The angle iron forms an 'indentation' that the tire sits in and 'voilà !' the problem is gone.
In fact I am presently on holiday, towing the car on the dolly through the winding mountain roads of New Hampshire. The scenery is absolutely breath taking, the people very friendly and the car is still with us. ( as an aside, New Hampshire is highly recommended).
Thanks to one and all for all the suggestions and help. And now I can sleep at night too.
