What kind of TCL error did you see get to cause the problem? I just tested a simple rule like this, but didn't see a problem: 

 
 when RULE_INIT { 
  
    log local0. "\[clock seconds\]: [clock seconds]" 
  
     Bad "command" 
    test    
 }

Added a log statement to RULE_INIT

Jan 14 16:31:03 local/tmm info tmm[8462]: Rule rule_init_rule : [clock seconds]: 1263486663

Jan 14 16:31:03 local/tmm1 info tmm1[8463]: Rule rule_init_rule : [clock seconds]: 1263486663

Added a bad command "test" after the log statement

Jan 14 16:31:13 local/test-3600-2 err mcpd[3462]: 01020066:3: The requested rule (rule_init_rule) already exists in partition Common.

Jan 14 16:31:13 local/test-3600-2 err mcpd[3462]: 01070151:3: Rule [rule_init_rule] error: line 4: [undefined procedure: test] [test]

Removed the bad command "test" after the log statement

Jan 14 16:32:03 local/test-3600-2 err mcpd[3462]: 01020066:3: The requested rule (rule_init_rule) already exists in partition Common.
