The script you provided worked perfectly. I suppose then it is something I'm doing improperly? However this has been working for me for a few months...

I'm using an imported file from STATA "y.dta", I run the following:

open y.dta
setobs 12 1990:01 --time-series
genr valueadj = deseas(value, X)

Every time I get ".gretl/x12arima/x.d11: No such file or directory". This occurs even when I leave the "X" off and try:

open y.dta
setobs 12 1990:01 --time-series
genr valueadj = deseas(value)

Hmm. You were trying to adjust a series named 'value' and got an
error message about 'x.d11' not existing?  That sounds like black
magic to me.

What do you get from the following script:

open data9-7.gdt
series value = QNC
series dsv = deseas(value)

?
