DOP error: application not available on this system

  We are running Tru64 v5.1B-3 (= v5.1B-2 + pkit#5) on an ES40.

  Before pkit#5 was applied, we had an application 'prtcontrol'
  added to the DOP database that worked fine for authorized
  usernames before _and_ _after_ pkit#5.

  I made some modifications to the ksh script used by
  'prtcontrol' and noticed that DOP was still using the original
  version of it. Question #1: Why was it still looking at the
  original version? It no longer exists in its original directory!

  OK, so I thought I would do a 'dop -d', 'dop -a' and 'dop -W'
  to get it reinstalled in the dop database.

  But now, for the 'root' user 'dop prtcontrol' works using the
  modified ksh script. For the usernames that have been already
  authorized to run 'prtcontrol', the dop command returns this
  error:

     A system error occurred, preventing prtcontrol from
     being launched. The application you wish to access is
     not available on this system. It may be contained in a
     subset that is not currently installed.

  Funny thing is that the same error is returned if this user
  tries 'dop somegarbage' where 'somegarbage' is not even in the
  dop database.

  So, I thought that there may be an access violation problem?
  /etc/doprc.bin had '-rw-------' for protection and I modified
  that to '-rw-r--r--', but the error message persists!

  Any insight into what is going on here and how can I convince
  'dop' to do its job for my users?

  Thanks in advance,
