I have been having the same problem.  I have established that the $SETPRV at
line 1006 in DELIVER.PAS fails to set CMKRNL (though it does set SYSPRV ok).
As a result the $SNDJBC fails to the submit the batch job to another username.
Of course it all works fine if your default decnet username has CMKRNL!!

I do not understand why the $SETPRV fails.

We are running VMS 5.1

Does anyone have further ideas.
