I cannot see here any error that would stop data reduction.

Apparently the MNJ has recompiled TPMON and one may have to remake the
link files in $LOAD.  This your AIPS Manager should do (see above
messages for some guidance).  But this does not stop aips from working
although it may stop the TPMONs from running and so no remote tape
functions.
