There's another tack we could take: it looks to me like IDL is having
trouble finding the
READ_BINARY function, though heaven knows why.

*IF* this is the case then I suspect that by adding in the line:

forward_function read_binary

before your "array=..." line will at best make the problem go away and
at worst get rid of the compilation error and replace it with a "%
Attempt to call undefined procedure/function:" message.
Then all you'll have to do is find out _why_ IDL isn't finding the
function ;-)

Are you defining a variable called read_binary somewhere?

Do you have a string that ends in:
.../rsi/idl_6.3/lib

somewhere in the output of:
print,transpose(strsplit(!path,':',/extract)) ; ?

- I'm assuming a *nix OS due to the forward slashes you reported here:
% Syntax error.
At: /home/.../clump_pp.pro, Line 276
% 1 Compilation error(s) in module GET_DATA.

This is getting interesting...
