Just a wild suggestion. Maybe the file needs to be writeable by world?
so chmod a+w your reminder file might be all that is needed.
Remind will refuse to read world-writable files.

    "Can't write reminder file "mnt/BOX48/rem/reminders"

    Does the directory /mnt/BOX48/rem exist?

        Ok, now my server problems are fixed. I had stopper a system
        update before it finished and corrupted the kernel.

        Now I am still unable to use remind from the SL6.3 computer.
        This is what I see:

            [bobg@box7 ~]$ /usr/bin/tkremind  /mnt/HOME1/rem/reminders

            TkRemind Copyright (C) 1996-1998 David F. Skoll
            Copyright (C) 1999-2010 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.

            and an error message:   Can't write reminder file
                                    '/mnt/HOME1/rem/reminders'

        Other data is read from the NFS server e.g. Notecase.

        And an Fedora 18 computer reads and writes to  the same remind
        file without problems.

        I have been looking at permissions, groups, etc, without
        seeing any differences between the working F-18 box and this
        Sciantific Linux  one? Both operating systems are to computers
        that were running F-17 without any problem.

        One other thing, I can create a remind file in this computer
        instead of on the server and it will work. The parts seem to
        work individually but not together.

        Any suggestions appreciated,

        Bob
