[daip] IMAGR issue

Hi,

I have not been able to get IMAGR working on my Mac (10.6) to work. The rest of the tasks in AIPS work perfectly, this does not seem to be an issue with the TV server. When I try to run IMAGR, I get an error message. I am including the input parameters and the output below.

I get the same message with binary installations of 31Dec09, 31Dec10 and 31Dec11 versions of AIPS. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
