Did you put just "6200ch" or the full absolute path to this file?

When you change channels with 6200ch do you do it with no arguments
other than the channel number?

I had to wrap 6200ch in a script for my use.  I have the channel
changer configured as /usr/local/bin/changefioschannel, which is:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/6200ch -g  f80bbefffe707f3e -d 10 -4 $1
/usr/local/bin/6200ch -g  f80bbefffe707f3e -e
sleep 2

Obviously, your guid will be different.
