It would be better to use daip at nrao.edu.  I have been away on vacation.

The problem below is due to something going wrong with your message 
file.  If you delete it, and start again, then all this nonsense will go 
away.  The file is in your first AIPS data area and is named
MSDuuu000.uuu\;  where uuu is your user number in extended hex (base 36).

The LASTEXIT issue is curious.  In that same first AIPS data area do an

ls -l SGDuuu*

and look at ownership etc.  The file SGDuuu000.uuu\; is a directory file 
and the others are various named SAVE/GET files one of which is 
LASTEXIT.   Inside AIPS use the verb SGINDEX to see what the directory 
contains.
