Actually there's a typo in the 4.0 manual; this should be "in%""~csc_test""".
However, that's not the only problem here.

Dunno how to interpret this.

PMDF is merely using VMS MAIL to deliver mail to this user.  (It's not using
DELIVER since the forwarding address was not correct.)  VMS MAIL is having a
problem doing the delivery; it's VMS MAIL which is reporting these errors. You
need to first get delivery to this address working via vanilla VMS MAIL from a
non-privileged account.

It looks like the mail was sent to in%"csc_ted@dt3.dt.uh.edu" which was
forwarded to csc_test@uhdvx4 which translated to UHDVX4::CSC_TEST.  So, you
need to get mail to UHDVX4::CSC_TEST working (from vanilla VMS MAIL,
unprivileged account) first.  Then also fix the forwarding address
("in%""~...""").
