[daip] Problems with polarization calibration in AIPS 31DEC09

Dear Friends of AIPS: I am having problems doing the continuum polarization
calibration with AIPS 31DEC09.
I have no problems with an older version of AIPS (31DEC05).

I can do the regular continuum calibration with no problem.
I run PCAL apparently OK, but when I try to use RLDIF to
see the Right - Left phase difference, I get
the following message:

AURIGA> RLDIF1: Task RLDIF  (release of 31DEC09) begins
AURIGA> RLDIF1: UVGET: Using flag table version   1 to edit data
AURIGA> RLDIF1: UNKNOWN POLARIZATION PARAMETERIZATION ='
AURIGA> RLDIF1: NO USABLE POLCAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN AN TABLE
AURIGA> RLDIF1: PERHAPS DOPOL SHOULD BE FALSE
AURIGA> RLDIF1: MATXUV: ERROR  10 DETERMINING UV-FILE PARAMETERS
AURIGA> RLDIF1: returns adverbs to AIPS
AURIGA> RLDIF1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes

Any advice will be appreciated. I have tried with different databases
and the problem persists.

Best Regards, Luis.
