I found the bug in FITLD that explains the bad auto-correlation values.  A MNJ on 31DEC19 or 31DEC20 now will get you a corrected version.  It was scaling old VLBA hardware correlator data incorrectly.
I tried VLBAFIX and it split out FQ 1 and ran FIXPOL on it.  The other FQIds were not split out.  That will require investigation (VLBAFIX is not simple).
But ACCOR ran fine on both a Linux and a Mac system.  Perhaps you want to mv $LOAD/ACCOR.EXE to some dummy name before running the MNJ.  That will cause a new copy to be downloaded.
