[daip] catalog lists

Hi.  We ran into a bit of a problem here with our catalog lists.  Someone 
was trying to create a new data area in aips, and somehow when they did, 
they wrote over the catalogs in a couple other data areas.  Basically, 
what happens now is that when I use "indi 0; mc", I get the catalog for 
disk 1 correctly, but disk 5 and disk 6 also give me the catalog for disk 
1.  If I try to grab a file from either disk 5 or disk 6, aips first tells 
me that I grabbed a file from disk 1, but then if I look at the image 
header, it turns out I actually have the file I wanted in disk 5 or 6.  I 
can then manipulate the file from disk 5 or 6 anyway I want.  

Is there any way to throw the catalog that aips thinks it sees for disk 
5 and 6 out, and then to write a new one without taking all of the 
files out of the drive and writing them back in?  We've tried to move 
around some of the CAD*.* files, but to no avail.  Any suggestions.  

Thanks alot for your help.
