Wow!  These are incorrect on all levels.

I wish I did!  I have never seen a situation quite like this.  At least
we have this narrowed down to a problem with updating of SYSKEY.TAB.

The first thing I would check is the file permissions on SYSKEY.TAB
and ROUTE.SYS.  They must both be readable AND writable by the user
running the LDM and your 'mcidas' user.  Is this the case?

Can you change these values from your McIDAS-X session:

SYSVAL CHANGE 2051 78
SYSVAL CHANGE 2052 200000
SYSVAL CHANGE 2053 2000018

This problem is unusual enough that I would be happy to logon to
your system to see it first hand.  If you want me to do this, I will
need logins for the users 'mcidas' and the user running your LDM.
