RSX tasks are required to be CONTIGUOUS files. When you grab
something, even in file type fixed, via Kermit or other transfer
programs, you create a file that may be fixed 512 bytes, which is
correct, but it will not in general be contiguous, and cannot
be installed or run.
  to fix this, just use a command (from the toolkit) like
. PIP myfile.tsk/CO/NV=myfile.tsk

which will create a new version of myfile.tsk that is contiguous.
Delete the old one. Of course if you run out of contiguous space
on disk, you have the wonderful fun of reorganizing it all.
   This is done since RSX stores start LBN and size of a task
in its' tables so a task activation requires only one QIO$ in
principle to load the task.
