My suspicion is that the TD file has become damaged - it is the one
that should be using LUN 13.  Go to

cd $AIPS_ROOT
. LOGIN.CSH           (for csh   or . LOGIN.SH  for bash)
$CDTST
cd DA00/<hostname>
ls -laF TD*

It should be over 64000 bytes and have all sorts of permissions.  In
any case, delete it.

RUN FILAIP
4 2

and ignore all the error messages (files already exist).  This should
make and init a new TD file.
