Tony,

re: Check your environment variable settings and try a session again.

>They were already set. Got anything else?

Are they exported?  Since you are using bash, and since the McIDAS startup
script uses the Bourne shell, you need to export your McIDAS environment
variables for them to be understood.

Try:

export MCDATA=...
export MCPATH=...
etc.

Please let me know if this doesn't work.
