Oh no!  Another user had this happen and I never did figure out why.

I think we may have gotten around it by

./$AIPS_ROOT/START_AIPS notv tpok

to include the options you sort-of typed above

There is something wrong with the link file named "aips" in your 
$SYSLOCAL file I suspect.  If this doesn't work I suspect that I had to 
provide scripts that do not check whether $AIPS_ROOT is a directory.
Let's try the simple thing first
