I have this problem too. As a workaround, I do :-

setenv VMDBABELBIN /usr/local/lib/babel/babel_vmd

in the vmd script, and then I create /usr/local/lib/babel/babel_vmd
with :-

#!/bin/csh -f
setenv BABEL_DIR /usr/local/lib/babel
set inputformat = `echo $argv[1] | awk -F\- '{print $2}'`
set outputformat = `echo $argv[4] | awk -F\- '{print $2}'`
if ( $inputformat == "ix" ) then
   set inputformat = "-ixyz"
else
   set inputformat = '-'$inputformat
endif
if ( $outputformat == "op" ) then
   set outputformat = "-opdb"
endif
set argv = ( $inputformat $2 $3 $outputformat $5 )
/usr/local/lib/babel/babel $argv
#
#

Neil.
