20030827: 20030827: 20030827: 20030826: dcnexr2 write errors



Eric,

The line:
[8328] 030827/1249 [IN -11]  Parameter msfc.pack is invalid.

means that the $GEMTBL/pack/msfc.pack file is not being found. This would 
indicate
that either your GEMTBL link is wrong, or the path in your pqact
entry is wrong, or you don't have read permission on that file.
