Running CHECKINI on my system yields these partial results:

 Checking integrity of PM_Workplace:Handles1
=================================================
19 DRIV blocks found.
DRIV A: (   1 handles)
DRIV B: (   4 handles)

DRIV I: (  32 handles) => ERROR: Incorrect first NODE 'BUILD.CMD' DRIV J:
(9012 handles)
DRIV K: (  25 handles)
DRIV L: ( 472 handles)


The DRIV I:  error noted above is probably my problem.

Would anyone know where this problem resides, and how I might go about
fixing it?
