are you sure about =~ and ~~ is valid in specifying formula? I am not avare of
cfa but it does not seem to be in accordance with all other formulas i know.

Are your data semHW1dat1 structured as required by cfa?
Somehow cfa function missed your atds1par and other variables which are outside
of data frame. Maybe the function requires them to be included in data frame.
All following errors are due to cfa did not evaluated the model.
