We figured out the issue....since we're using ADRDSSU, it's getting a null dataclass...and we had a condition within the storage class that said if dataclas is '' then set storclas to ''.
So I guess my next question...we attempted to code for dataclas = '' and pgm = 'ADRDSSU' to fall to our DEFAULT stroage class...when moving datasets this worked like a champ...but when restoring datasets it did not. Obviously I am missing something else here. Is ADRDSSU not the right pgm name?

Either remove that from the STORCLAS or in the restore parameters include a VOLUME(*) parameter to override the volume that DFDSS wants to use.
