Thanks to all who tried to help. The system in question had been copied from another unit pair. I'm sure there must have been some comedy of errors that made the copies defective.

I'd be thinking you are paddling around in the wrong catalog. A *very* careful check of all that you had done so far would be germane. With regard to the update record in the page dataset, this merely stops you deleting or using the same dataset on another system whilst it is active. It can be (re-)used after the using system is deactivated - you get a warning message about the last system to use that page dataset, but usage proceeds.
