I do a quick test in a bash ($) terminal and this is what I get:

username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ pwd
/home/username/Desktop/test <= What is your full path?  If it is long, 
try shorting it.  Is your directory name "hpn_final_converged" or this 
the name cutoff?
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ rm aim.def <= Maybe, remove the 
aim.def and try again.
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ aim
   ERROR IN OPENING AIM.DEF !!!!
AIM.DEF
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ aim aim.def
   ERROR IN OPENING AIM.DEF !!!!
AIM.DEF
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ ls -l aim.def
ls: cannot access aim.def: No such file or directory
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ x aim
1.0u 0.0s 0:01.02 99.0% 0+0k 0+96io 0pf+0w <= I experience no error here 
with "x aim".
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ ls -l aim.def
-rw-rw-r-- 1 username username 330 Sep 18 16:04 aim.def <= What are your 
read permissions for aim.def?
username at computername:~/Desktop/test$ cat aim.def
