Is this all it says after starting up? I have revised the task
rather substantially, but Amy and I have been running it a lot with
good results.

If you do not save the new vocabulary in the LASTEXIT file then
you will have to get it every time. Also if you have old SAVE/GET
files you need to GET them, say COMPRESS (which I prefer to NEWPARMS)
and then SAVE them under their exact name. Otherwise the new
vocabulary will not be a part of them. Usually, users start aips,
discover they need new adverbs and so compress or newparms, and then
when they exit the new vocabulary is saved. I do not know why that is
not working in your case.

I'll try this again momentarily - I just got in after all - and see if
your set of adverbs does anything odd.
