Les,

One of the first things I tried was to query the drive (it was FREE) then 
ATTACH to myself and DETACH.

As I said in my reply to JR, I can perform RMS queries (and mounts) 
successfully on this drive on  another system (not at the same time ;-) ). 


For CP we are at V5R3.0 at RSU0702 so that should not be the problem. I 
thought we were reasonably up to date on DFSMS service but I will check. 
Is there a particular APAR that needs to be present to indicate the 
required service level?
