The ``too many relative components'' sounds like the shell complaining
about your path.  Check .cshrc and make sure that there aren't lots of ./
or ../ type paths in there.

For your permission denied problems, check the ownership and permissions
of your home directory.  Try running something simple, like mail.  If that
dies, send the output of `id' and `ls -l /usr/bin/mail'.
