Looks like you have a definition for 6.52 as PIVAX2, while on MIM, it's 
now JALAD. Not sure how well NCP on VMS deals with a node that change 
name. Might also be that you have a JALAD already, at some other 
address. Cleaning up your local nodename database first, and then copy 
should solve it, I suspect...

(Yes, people sometimes contact me with changes that redefine existing 
nodes.)
