I believe that there may be something wrong with the FACILITY resource. I'm almost positive that it checks for the FACILITY before checking the "catalog" because FACILITY (RACLISTed) is potentially quicker.
It is defined and active? The user or his group is in the access list? You haven't just added this FACILITY or PErmitted this user (i.e. REFRESH RACLIST(FACILITY) needed)? It may be necessary to use GTF to trace the RACF invocations to see what it is doing.

However, as you can see, it don't. The RACF folks don't see anything wrong with the profiles. Any ideas? Thanks!!
