I don't know anything about shadow volumes, but I bet that they need an
indexed vtoc. The MVS 3.8 vtoc wouldn't support an indexed vtoc. Maybe
that was the problem.

volume that was built under a Hercules (MVS 3.8) system and after
conversion and transmitting, load and use it on a Z/OS system. Normally
that is not a problem, but (apparently) when you use Shadow volumes, you
can't built the image the same way, (you end up with the problem that we
ran into).
I wish you had just said that sooner! (Obviously, I know next to nothing
about Hercules.) It might be worth consulting Jay Maynard about the issue
you encountered. Emulation is *supposed* to be transparent! If there's an
incompatibility, he'll probably want to know ...
