Error: Reserved Variables Causing Workflow Issues

Several variables are reserved in the workflow and should not be used as environment variables in your shell. Some of the common ones include (but are not limited to):
``HOMEgfs``, ``machine``, ``ROTDIR``, ``COMROT``, ``COMROOT``, ``COMOUT``, ``COMIN``, ``STMP``, ``PTMP``, ``DATAROOT``, ``DATA``, ``ACCOUNT``, ``PDY``, ``cyc``, ``RUN``, etc.
