Sorry, I don't know much about csh and it's derivates, except that it can't handle the syntax of the POSIX shell (sh, ksh, bash, ...)
If possible, try switching to bash or ksh, as the only examples of csh "programming" are almost but not completely unmaintainable.

smd-loop
smd-loop(1) Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation smd-loop(1)
NAME
smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push
SYNOPSIS
smd-loop [-vt]
DESCRIPTION
smd-loop runs smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are
reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.
The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields: pull-frequency, push-frequency and end-
point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with
# are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes, and smd-push default every 10.
Example:
# pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
3 10 default
OPTIONS
-v Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)
-t Just create a template configuration file if none
FILES
~/.smd/loop
