[Difx-users] Question : difx2mark4 / fourfit problem

Ran the input file with mpifxcorr, watching errormon and all seemed good. Happily producing usual output about visibilities no errors.

Run difx2mark4, it doesn't look like previous experiments.

Now in another experiment I ran the same way I can see the result thus:

oper at ww-flexbuf-01:/raid0/etransfer/ws001$ ls ws001d/1234/No0001
1306-095.zyfcsr  LL..zyfcsr  Lu..zyfcsr  L..zyfcsr  uu..zyfcsr  u..zyfcsr

But for this experiment I get very different :

oper at ww-flexbuf-01:/raid0/etransfer/ws001$ ls ws001h/1234/No0001
1306-095.{aepql  L..{aepql  LL..{aepql  Lu..{aepql  u..{aepql  uu..{aepql

I run fourfit on this new experiment and get :

fourfit:          The [-r afile] option replaces the data file list, however.
fourfit:          The "set" argument and the commands which follow it must
fourfit:          come last.  All option flags must appear before the data file
fourfit:          list.  Option flags can come in any order.

fourfit:     Here are two examples of command-line invocations of fourfit, with
fourfit:     an explanation of what they do:
fourfit:
fourfit: fourfit -txas -m 1 -c control 018-234505 set mb_win -0.0034 .004 freqs a b
fourfit:         Test mode, xwindow display, accounting switched on, cross
fourfit:         power spectrum plot switched on, moderately verbose, use
fourfit:         control file named "control" in current working directory,
fourfit:         process all data in scan directory 018-234505, override
fourfit:         multiband delay search window and select channels 'a' and
fourfit:         'b' only.
fourfit:
fourfit: fourfit -r refr_list -c control -d hardcopy -b AT:S
fourfit:         Process all data referenced by type 2 lines in the A-file
fourfit:         named "refr_list", use control file "control", print the
fourfit:         fringe plot on the default printer, process only baseline
fourfit:         AT frequency subgroup S.

fourfit: Fatal error interpreting command line arguments

I have never seen this before ?

If I run fourfit on an earlier experiment it works with the same param's.

I am assuming the mpifxcorr must have gone wrong somehow ? I have several previous experiments using the same setup and I follow the same steps but still keep hitting this ?
