Since I note that no one else has responded yet, here's my version.
You need to understand what's going on here.  When you are in the room
with the big cube, where you end up after "walk through curtain"
depends on the room you were in just before entering room with big cube.
For example, if you were just in the Chairman's office, walking
thru the curtain puts you in the small bare room.  If you then
"walk through south wall" you will be back in the cube room.
NOW since the last place you were was the small bare room, walking
thru the curtain puts you in the vault!  Get the zorkmid bills then
get out of there fast (you only have 2 or three moves before the
alarm system kills you) you exit by "walk through north wall".

To get the treasure out of the cube room, I believe you can do it by

drop treasure		--may need to drop individual items, i don't
			  remember)
East, East		--or West, West - back to cube room.
get treasure
walk through curtain

If that doesn't work, throw the treasures through the curtain just before
walking through the curtain.  You should find the treasures in a viewing
room.
