What this is saying is that the DA00 area it is using has not been 
filled properly.  Perhaps it is now using some new area.  The $DA00 area 
is normally $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/<hostname>/ and contains all sorts of files 
including SP and PW ones.  If it is using the correct area and it is now 
empty, outside AIPS do

RUN FILAIP

and answer the question.  Usual answer is 6 2
