The actual error Modeller was giving was the (admittedly somewhat cryptic) str_sn2_E> # of ' <> even: (i.e. 'uneven number of single quotes') when processing the following: SET ATOM_FILES_DIRECTORY = 'D:\sh\modeller6v2\bin\sg'
Modeller treats the \ character as an escape character in standard Unix fashion, and as such doesn't see the closing quote on this string. Additionally, the : character is used as a directory separator, so cannot be used to specify the D: drive.
The solution: use Unix-style path names, i.e. SET ATOM_FILES_DIRECTORY = '/sh/modeller6v2/bin/sg/'
Modeller is unable, however, to read files from a drive different to that you're running it from.
