Subj : QWK and OS/2

I am running OS/2 Warp 4 and Maximus 3.01. My qwk does not compress qwk packets correctly and gives a error message to notfiy the sysop. Looking in the maximus logs shows a "Archiver error (errorlevel 203)". I have searched the docs and the interweb for the meaning of this error. I can manually run pkzip -a Olr\LABBS.qwk  Olr\*.* and sucessfully create a LABBS.qwk file. I see where the offline reader is trying to run "maxpipe.exe 10 pkzip -a Olr\node01\LABBS.qwk Olr\node01\*.* (203)
Any idea what the problem could be? The docs say you can run the same compresss.ctl for Squish and Maximus so I am certain I have the correct version of PKZIP. I also don't understand where that command line comes from that is called by the offline mail reader menu. Any help would be appreciated!
