That's it - turns out that there was an export IDL_PATH='' deep in the
bowels of some cluster setup scripts. Removing that solved the
problem. Thanks for the HELP, /PREFERENCES hint!

You could use HELP, /PREFERENCES to identify the location
of both the global and local preferences file. One or the
other of these appears to be screwed up. In any case, you
can set all your IDL preferences in this file, either by
hand and simple editing, or by using the PREF_SET and/or
PREF_COMMIT commands.
Cheers,
David
