Try redoing the MAKE.MNJ:

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH    (or . LOGIN.SH)
$CDTST

$SYSLOCAL/MAKE.MNJ

It will prompt for a date and will prime the cvs

where date is e.g. 20040226

Note that the account used to run MAKE.MNJ must be the same account as
used the run the do_daily script (so that $HOME has the same
meaning).
