Was the original data set already on the disk or did you FILLM it recently? I 
don't think it would be a permission problem though. It is more likely that 
the file got moved (ie assigned a different catalog number), or that the 
original file (or it's SU table) got deleted. When it crashes, try 'tget 
tabget;inputs' to see which file and SU version it points at (should be the 
original multisource data set that came out of FILLM), and use 'imhead' to 
see if that SU table is attached to the file. Maybe a 'restore 0' followed by 
'run vlarun', 'tget vlarun', and 'vlarun' (all on a separate line) will help. 
Also make sure you don't have any files with the same name from previous runs 
around as this may confuse the script
