I think that your definition for McTABLE_READ needs to be surrounded by 
quotes:

MCTABLE_READ="$MCDATA/MCTABLE.TXT;$MCHOME/data/ADDESITE.TXT"

If the quotes are left out, then the semi-colon will be interpreted by
the shell as a command separator.

No.

re:

Try changing your McTABLE_READ definition to what I showed above and let
me know the outcome.

Cheers,
