I have been using MANX 3.4, and MANX 3.6a + SDB, on a hard disk for months now
and never had any of the mentioned problems.  

I have the manx files on my second disk partitions (DH0B:).

SET shows the following:

INCLUDE=DH0B:include!DH0B:asm
CLIB=ram:!DH0B:lib!!
FUNCLIST=DH0B:lint/manx.c
CCTEMP=ram:

NO ASSIGNS are relevant to my configuration.

PATH shows the following (note Amiga2: == DH0B:):

Current Directory
RAM:
Amiga2:bin
....
