RawData and SenderSubID are not standard QuickFIX settings entries.  See 
http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/configuration.html

To add these fields to a Logon message you must override toAdmin in your 
FIX::Application class, test for Login message there, and add the fields 
if necessary.

It *is* possible to ask for the settings associated with the session and 
to pull RawData and SenderSubID from these settings so you can configure 
the values in the settings file if you want to, but you'll have to 
provide the code to honor these values.
