Ok, if you don't have [3,54] then you must have RSX-11M not RSX-11M+. In that case you 
should have two versions of Indirect:
[1,54]ICP.TSK
[1,54]ICX.TSK

ICP.TSK is the default, "full capacity" version and in V4.0 of RSX11M it shows up under TAS as:
>TAS ...AT.
...AT. 1.0    GEN     64. 00060000 LB0:-00114253 

so try removing it as you did above and then INS the ICX.TSK and try it.

>REM …AT.
>INS [1,54]ICX.TSK
>TAS …AT.
...AT. 9.01   GEN     64. 00060000 LB0:-00114033 

It would be good to know which version of RSX-11M you have and also a bit about the configuration.
You mention backing up your data, what disks do you have? To back up a system disk sometimes
it is best to use BRUSYS.SYS which on M should be in [1,51] It is a memory resident version
of BRU (running under RSX11S) that you BOOT and then can copy disks.

Good Luck!
