Unless that was a typo above, the redirection should be <>>>/2&. You have an 
extra > . Also your size and crc does not match what I'm currently using which 
might mean you have the wrong version of swread. The version in 
NitrOS-9/3rdparty/utils/smartwatch is for an actual smartwatch not for emulators.

Check your startup file and also try just entering
swread
and see if the date-t changes. If neither works, I'll send you a .dsk image with 
a new swread for VCC.
