Now there's your problem.  Once you've defiled the sz program, it's not 
gonna work until you've undone your wrongs.  Delete the old rz/sz, hose 
down the machine with industrial solvent (disconnect the power first, 
we practice safe computing around here), have the hardware blessed by 
Chuck (you never can be too careful), spend a day in meditation, 
contemplating the cruelty of defiling software, then attempt a fresh 
build of the zmodem software.

If that doesn't work, you may want to look at your command syntax.
