Hi Tia,

I think cs does not work the way you think it does.  Here's the manual page:

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/cs.html

I think the output you're posting shows that the values that csound
uses are from environment variables and not from commandline and that
you shouldn't pass multiple files, just the base name.  Also if you do
just basename, it looks like you have to pass csound options after the
basename (so "cs oil -A" should work). I'm not sure sure as I don't
use cs.  I think things would work just fine though if you used csound
instead of cs.

Hope that helps!
