Our configurations are similar - I run BMS hard disks off of a 1MB 520.
The MWC file \bin\profile may be setting your TZ environment variable to
a value which produces this result.  Additionally, the line which reads
"  date `date -i`  " in the released \bin\profile is setting the system
clock from the IKBD clock, and may be the culprit.  I would suggest the
following boot sequence:
1) bms disk driver
2) setclock
3) your program which reformats and copies sysclock to IKBD clock
last) foldrxxx/gemboot combination to fix 40-folder problem.

I am not certain, but a first guess is that GULAM and MSH use different
techniques for passing command-line variables which are not compatible.
Second guess would be that the MWC make is looking for a pointer in
it's environment in order to find an entry point for a shell routine to
receive a command line to execute.  Check the MWC 2.0 release document (not the
lexicon, but the pamphlet) for a ciscussion of compatibility issues with other shells
(like Beckmeyer).
