This is a bit odd - the usual GCG configuration uses the logical name Em_Fun to 
access these files.  However, you are able to read the sequence data, so I
suspect it's a configuration quirk at your site.  Checking logical names may
elucidate this, FWIW.

We've established previously that you can read the sequence data, but you're
now having problems reading the locus definition line.  I'd guess that you have
a file protections problem in EMBLDir: (e.g. the .Ref file is not readable from
the account which is running FASTA), or that some of your libary files are
corrupted.  If you try 
$ Fetch Fun:SCCHROMI
what results do you get?
