Any ideas?

Looks like it's having a problem with your pcells. Is it possible they are in a reference library and the paths to those libraries are set incorrectly in the database? Are the paths set directly in the database? Or are they in a reference control file? Hercules may be looking in the database for the references, but if they're in a control file, it may not see them. Maybe if you moved the data from somewhere and the reflib paths are relative and not absolute, it can't find them now....not sure.

Thank for your quick response.
Hm yeah , there is some problem with pcells , but I just unpacked archives (cosmos and hercules) , then I installed them as usuall
and then started to use comos default cosmos.demo lib.
I dont think that there is some problems with paths....

What do you think about?
