I'm Cc:'ing daip at nrao.edu on this. This is not the usual permission problem
as you are in the AIPS user group and the directory permissions look okay.

[root at pasilla DA01]$ groups kdevine
kdevine : nmstaff aips students

[root at pasilla DA01]$ ls -ld
drwxrwsr-x  3 aips aips 491520 Apr 17 17:21 ./

Maybe the the AIPS related directories should be world writeable, but
since it is writeable by group aips, this should be no problem.

The only possible odd thing I see are the file permissions themselves.
The file MSD1T9000.1T9; and all but one MSD* files are owned by Claire
and are only writeable by owner, her. If ZDAOPN wants to open the file
with write access, that could be the problem.

That's one reason I'm passing this on to daip.
