I am clueless - it works fine on my LNX64 machine.  To debug, change 
your START_AIPS - there is after the reference to DADEVS.PL a place wher 
it executes the file /tmp/DADEVS.$pid and then deletes it.  You could 
comment out the deletion and see what the file contains.  It should 
define DA01, DA02, DA03, and NVOL in your case.
