SPAM and SP Updates not running on system

Question

Hi SAP people,
I have been struggling for a few days with a landscape that I am trying to set up and would appreciate your input.
I am running on Windows Server EE, with MaxDB 7.6.00 build 35. I am installing ERP2005.
When I try to install the required SP's and SPAM updates, I get messages like "DD ACTIVATION" and "imp all", that display for at least 12 hours.
I have tried to import the packages 1 by 1 and alternate between running them in dialog and the background.
I have executed r3trans -d from the "e:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>" and get this output.
E:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>r3trans -d
This is r3trans version 6.14 (release 700 - 15.06.07 - 15:50:00).
unicode enabled version
2EETW169 no connect possible: "connect failed with DBLI_RC_LOAD_LIB_FAILED."
r3trans finished (0012).
E:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>
Also, the latest SLOG output is as follows:
STOP  imp all              GAQ   0016 20080213112326              EPIUSE_BASIS sapdev 20080213110229

I have downloaded the 133 kernel and the relevant R3trans and TP files.
Can anyone advise me to the next course of action?
I have added the dbms/type = SDB parameter to the instance profile. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance. Helpful suggestion will be rewarded.

Hi guys,
Further update.
Once I execute the TP command, I get this...
E:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>tp connect GAQ
This is tp version 372.03.35 (release 700, unicode enabled)
E-TPSETTINGS could not be opened.
EXIT
ERROR: System : Parameter SAPEVTPATH not set. Batch jobs cannot be started.
Error in TPSETTINGS: transdir not set.
tp returncode summary:
TOOLS: Highest return code of single steps was: 0
ERRORS: Highest tp internal error was: 0208
tp finished with return code: 208
meaning:
  error in transportprofil (param missing, unknown,...)
E:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>
And after adding the dbms/type parameter to the instance profile and the windows environment, when I try to execute the r3trans, I get the following...
E:\usr\sap\GAQ\DVEBMGS01\exe>r3trans.exe -d
This is r3trans.exe version 6.14 (release 700 - 15.06.07 - 15:50:00).
unicode enabled version
2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = ADABAS D                         --- DBNAM
E = ''"
r3trans.exe finished (0012).
Any idea what I've done wrong?
Here is the contents of my TP_DOMAIN_GAD.PFL file, which is the controller.
#TMS:0004:DOMAIN_GAD

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks. B.
