Obit writes the parameters in this file and the AIPS tasks reads them from there. As you've noted the pipeline script tolerates failures in the plotting routines. Eric explained the standard AIPS setup which will define $DA00. There is an Obit specific method, a file named .obitrc.py in either your home or the current working directory defines a number of items including those needed to run AIPS tasks. A third possibility for which you obviously have at least a partial version of is the AIPSSetup.py file the calibration pipeline uses to define data directories and the like. This can (usually does) include DA00. My guess is that your version of this file either doesn't include DA00 or sets it to a directory that either doesn't exist or the TDD000004; file does not exist.
