calc-covg-helper is not meant to be used directly. You need to use calc-covg, which calls calc-covg-helper to help out. It's a code design decision uniquely needed at WashU, where the tool was developed as part of a workflow. calc-covg-helper is a Perl wrapper around the calcRoiCovg binary.

From the error codes, it looks like you have a bug in bam1-list. It needs to be tab-delimited, and use unix- newlines.
