You did not say you use GAMESS-US ;-)
When using GAMESS-US, R.E.D. gets the MEP points from the .dat (punch)
file (& not from the .log file!). This .dat file has to be moved from
the scratch directory by R.E.D.
This means you need to modify your "rungms" script such as it is
described in the R.E.D.-II manual
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/RED-II.pdf end of page 7.
You need to set:
setenv PUNCH $SCR/$JOB.dat

You should not need to do that. All is done automatically...

Just modify your "rungms" script according to what is written end of
page 7 in the RED-II manual.
