Frank,

either you haven't sourced the Gemenviron contents into your
csh environment after making your local directory changes,
or, your environment is either not correct or finding a 
different version somewhere.

After you have set NAWIPS in Gemenviron and sourced this into your csh,
you should be able to type "echo $NAWIPS" and verify that this is
correct. 

You should also be able to verify that the ancillary table directories
are correctly defines, whith "echo $GEMHLP", "echo $GEMPDF",
"echo $GEMTBL", etc.

Finally, you should be able to verify that your PATH is finding
the GEMPAK5.6.e executables, and not a previous version, with:

"which sflist"

This should be your $NAWIPS/bin/linux/sflist location.
At the sflist-> prompt, you can type "version" and
it should correctly respond with 5.6.E.1.
