I'm not CBM but I do have an observation which I'd like to share.  I've noticed
that if your script performs an Execute and you have no T: directory assigned
and no SYS:t directory exists or is not writable then you will get the bogus
error message above.  What seems to happen is that the new script to be
Executed cannot be copied into T: and so the Execute command bombs.  I've
observed this behaviour on my system and it goes away if you have T: assigned
somewhere writable before Executing another script file from within a script
file.
