What is the error message you got?
 
When I tried to create directories in DOS, I did not get any error message, the
directory just wouldn't be created.  I tried to create a file in DOS using
the edit command in DOS 5.0.  When I would save a file, I got a path/file
access error.

What is the error message you got? Can you create directories if you login to
VMS?
 
        I can create directories when I login to VMS.  I can only do this using
the system account since that is the only account with privileges to those
directories.  When I sign on to the file service using my VMS usercode, I can
create files but again, when I create directories, no error message but the
directory does not get created.

Again, what is the error message?
 
     Same errors as above.
 
      If it is a quota problem, then give
PCFS$ACCOUNT disk quota.

You will have to change the logical name PCFS$APPLICATION for application
services. Look in SYS$STARTUP:PCFS_LOGICALS.COM
