I'm not sure I can replicate this, but here's what happened:
The end of my startup command file is this:
cmtfintadcAcnetInit 0x40
cmtfintadcAcnetCreate 0, 0x1400
dennis=6
a_alarms_enable # reset date every 5 minutes
period 300, todUpdateTime,0

I telneted into the board, and the following happened in response to my calling cmtfintadcAcnetCreate:
-> cmtfintadcAcnetCreate 1,0x2400
Can't create, not initialized yet.
value = -1 = 0xffffffff
-> i
...
t1 periodRun 11ef600 100 DELAY 3c41c0 11ef550 0 17863
value = 0 = 0x0
-> cmtfintadcAcnetCreate 1,0x2400
value = 0 = 0x0
-> cmtfintadcAcnetCreate 2,0x3400
value = 0 = 0x0
->

In other words, I couldn't call cmtfintadcAcnetCreate immediately after logging in. A couple seconds later, it was fine.
I'm not sure how that happened and the call to it in the startup script worked just fine in the end.
