I don't know what is wrong. I tried it here, creating a filespace that doesn't have a userid in the directory, and I could access it via IPGATE on a remote system. You aren't, by chance, using RACF to control SFS? I presume you aren't since you mention PUBLIC directories. Maybe looking at the RACF audit data or maybe even on the RACFVM console will give you a clue as to what authorization request is failing.
