The situs file is not there. Nothing is logged in the VMD DOS Window after volmap.

What program is supposed to run next?

That .dx file is just a temporary file VMD creates before blurring it to the appropriate resolution and writing out the final file which is the 4ake-target_autopsf.situs. Check your current VMD working directory for the 4ake-target_autopsf.situs file.
