Did you also edit AIPSPATH.SH?  As all the scripts used by AIPS are bourne
shell (not c-shell) this is vital.

Are you using the same AIPS usernumber?  The files in the data areas,
e.g. MAD007001.0AA; will have the user number in "extended" hex as the
last three letters (0AA in this case).  Type, e.g.:

     REHEX 0AA

to see the actual user number (370 in this case, my AIPS usernumber).

                                  this particular issue is likely an easy
                                  one -- I hope).
