With help from Jim Vincent, I (we) have figured out what was happening.
(Hint: PropOp functioning as designed.)
The information I was sending to PropOp got interpreted as follows.
PUT  UTPOLNOT  COBSQL  <plus some other keywords>
I have an entry in the RTABLE to look for  NOT in positions 10 thru 13.
The last three letters of the file name just so happen to be in 10 thru 13.
What are the chances?  
Oh, well, case closed.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Steve

Duh.  I know this.  There is some work I am doing where this was a design
issue.  My only defense is: "Chuckie made me do it."  ;-)
