VSAM data sets are required to be cataloged.  If you look up the ADR468E
message is says:
If the REPLACE or REPLACEUNCONDITIONAL keyword was not specified, one of the
following conditions applies:

    * If DELETE is specified and the entry name is a SYS1., page, or swap
data set, the RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL or PROCESS(SYS1) subparameter was not
specified.

    * If the entry name is a cluster name and DELETE was not specified: (1)
the RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL subparameter was not specified or (2) the RECAT
subparameter was not specified.

    * If the entry name is an alternate index or a user catalog name: (1)
the DELETE subparameter was not specified or (2) the RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL
subparameter was specified.

    * If the entry name is a user catalog name, INDDNAME or INDYNAM was
specified. 

So you either need to specify the DELETE keyword if you are trying to move
the data sets.  If you are not trying to move the data sets and just want
another copy then you need to specify the RECAT(catalogname) where the
catalog catalogname is not in the standard order of search (no alias defined
to the master catalog).  Or if you are trying to just have a copy with a new
name then you need to specify the RENAMEU(high_level_qualifier) to rename
the data set's high level qualifier to which will then catalog the target
VSAM data sets with the new name (other renaming options are available, look
up the RENAMEU keyword in the DSS Storage Admin Guide).  

Some of your non-VSAM data sets may have been copied because they do not
have the requirement to be cataloged.  So then there is no conflict because
they can be copied and leave the target data set uncataloged. 

BYPASSACS(**) and NSC will bypass the ACS routines and allow you to direct
the datasets to a non-SMS volume.  Keep in mind though that some data set
types require SMS management.

Hope that helps.
