I do not know why this is happening.  In your case - a single computer
as the only user - you can set LAPTOP = YES rather than NO in 
$AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH and LOGIN.CSH.  Then edit
$AIPS_ROOT/DA00/DADEVS.LIST and NETSP to add data disks for the host
named LOCALHOST.  What I usually do is 

also edit $AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST to add LOCALHOST

cd $AIPS_ROOT/DA00
ln -s XXXX LOCALHOST
cd $AIPS_ROOT/DATA
ln -s XXXX_1 LOCALHOST_1
ln -s XXXX_2 LOCALHOST_2

where the "real" name of the machine is/was XXXX and the data areas
are in $AIPS_ROOT/DATA at least as link files to their real location
and listed as such in DADEVS.LIST and NETSP.

It gets the name via uname -n except when laptop is true.
