Bad Command or Filename on Arev start-up (AREV Specific)

This seems to be a non-Arev problem, and more of a Novell Netware problem, but maybe someone has an idea. We are using Win98se, Netware 4.11, Netware Client 3.32, and Arev 3.12 with NLM 1.12
* One of five specific netware usernames gets a "bad command or file name" error when trying to launch the AREV pif.
* The problem follows these usernames from computer to computer. Other usernames are able to launch AREV on the same computer that one of these five cannot with no problem. This rules out specific computers as the problem.
* The five usernames having the problem have had their login scripts and Novell rights matched to properly working usernames at the same location, with no change in performance of AREV for the users having the problem.
* A batch file created to test the issue allows all the users to log in, where using the pif will not.
* The pif contains the following:
Cmd line: R:\app_pgms\ahcs\arev.exe %usrname /x/m4096
Working: R:\app_pgms\ahcs
Batch file: R:\App_pgms\AHCS\lhipxtsr /p
* The batch file contains:
lhipxtsr /c:120 /r:64 /s:2 /p
arev %usr% /xm4096
and it is executed from a pif that has the same "Working" entry, no "Batch file" and a "Cmd line" of:
Cmd line: R:\app_pgms\ahcs\tarev.bat
Changing from the pif to use the batch file is not a very desirable option, we would have over 200 pc's to update.
We're not sure why it works from the batch file, when the pif doesn't.
Any thoughts?

Is it possible that the usernames are longer or that the users require more environment/longer set path= settings/more search paths (owing to access to a specific app), and thus don't have enough environment space on *any* workstation? Try increasing the master environment size just to see.
Otherwise, what is common to these five users? Length of user name? Access to a specific application?

Sounds to me as if the drive mappings are incorrect. This is basic DOS stuff.

Sounds to me like the drives are incorrectly mapped. I would check the drive letters and compare the batch file to the pif.

Try checking the Search drives. Is R: a search drive?
