It doesn't set it from a file at that time, it just copies the reference 
to the appropriate catalog configuration from $Global::Selector{$catname}
to $Vend::Cfg.

Try changing the Catalog line to (last part may not be correct cause you have
one of those &##U#*&@~! mailers which wraps everything willy-nilly):

    Catalog  foundcscp /var/lib/interchange/foundcscp /foundcsp /cgi-bin/foundcsp

The alias hash is good from my view of it -- at least in the current version,
which I assume you are using.
