so what are the output messages when you type (in csh)

echo $DA00 $DA01
source <where you have your aips>/LOGIN.CSH
$CDTST
echo $DA00 $DA01

I think the variables are not expanded to their full paths, and that means
it cannot find your directories - maybe the same for the other error
messages, or perhaps with 'no locks available' it may be that your
automounter does not work. These are my best guesses from your info.
