This was used mainly in SITE.CATALOG but it is also accepted in list headers. A misspelled native path name that looks like the legacy syntax is one way to get this error message. My suspicion is that you have a list with a relative path in the "Notebook=" keyword that looks like the legacy syntax. Maybe something like:

We run LISTSERV 15.5 on RedHat Linux. All list archives path names are in the form:
/archives_nfs/xxx/listname
where 'xxx' is one of several subdirectories. A valid 'Notebook=' statement
will start with
Notebook= Yes,/archives_nfs/...
I scanned the list header files for 'Notebook=' statements which begin with
'Yes,', but which do not have '/' immediately following 'Yes,'. I found several
in the following form:
Notebook= Yes, /archives_nfs/...
Could the whitespace after the comma be the cause of this error?
