%ANALDISK-W-DIRNAME, directory file [SYSLOST]CMDS.DIR;2 is not named '.DIR;1'
%ANALDISK-W-DIRNAME, directory file [SYSLOST]LOGS.DIR;2 is not named '.DIR;1'
%ANALDISK-W-DIRNAME, directory file [SYSLOST]RPTS.DIR;2 is not named '.DIR;1'

The Answer is :

 
$ HELP/MESSAGE DIRNAME
 
 DIRNAME,  directory file 'file-spec' is not named '.DIR;1'
 
  Facility:     ANALDISK, Analyze/Disk_Structure Utility
 
  Explanation:  The specified file is marked with the DIRECTORY file
                characteristic, but it does not have a file type of .DIR and a
                version number of 1. The RMS file system cannot recognize the
                file as a directory.
 
  User Action:  Use the DCL command RENAME to rename the file.
