    Hi Kris,
    I'm looking at run 5702.  My bratmain script is
    ~/brahms_app/sjs_app/macros/MultCalibration.C
    
    Since I assume I'm accessing the same database from home as when I run
    on rcas, and things work fine at home, I don't see how this could be a 
    problem with the
    database.  What I should do, but haven't yet, is to run through some of 
    the access
    commands by hand.
