need help installing MSH

I am trying to install the MSH device handler -- 

I'm getting a "Reserved not assigned" message when I type "mount
msh:", and MSH does not appear to have been mounted at all, though
I've copied the messydisk.device file to my devs: directory, and the
MessyFileSystem file to my L: directory.

I have an Amiga 500 with the A501 512K memory board and an A1010 (I
think) external floppy drive, and I'm running AmigaDOS 1.3 on 1.2
ROMS.  Could this have something to do with my problem?.  

Here is the relevant part of my mountlist file.  I would appreciate
any help indeed!  Thank you!

----mountlist contents----
