How many rma's do you have?

What I have here:
{t2|08}/DD:vfy -x rma
Length of file: $00005D4E

Module found at offset $00000000 in this file
Header for    : rma
Header parity : $3A (good)
Module size   : $5D4E
Edition       : $0D
Ty/La At/Rv   : $11   $80
Program module, 6809 object, Re-enterable, R/O
Exec. off     : $003C
Data Size     : $1A94
Module CRC is : $7CEF4F (good)

Bytes read    : $00005D4E

And I just had to fix it with the cp -o, MShell ate it, like everything 
else I copied with it this morning.  V1.0.2 according the the zip file.
