 I finally got it to run all the way to the end, and I got the same result.

 The last gotcha for me was long directory names. When I replaced 
"/data/TASS/Disk18subset/output" with "/TD/output" it ran to completion; before 
I did that, it died trying to exec the collate program. I presume this is some
TCL buffer size restriction.

 I agree with what Tom said - very nice job of documentation.
