I was never able to reproduce this.  Do you have extended parse  
enabled or not, and do you have any DECC$* logical names defined?  And  
I suppose the output of

$ dir/security [.lib.base.t]

could be of interest.  As far as I know, the "can't run" message  
usually means the file does not exist, but if you don't have access to  
it I guess that could also cause trouble.

Of course VMS has hammers in various sizes to smash this with, such as  
audits and alarms, SET WATCH FILE, and so forth.
