VMLINK shouldn't try to access a disk at filemode S, since the access command doesn't allow you to access anything at filemode S. You may have found a bug. What level and service level of z/VM are you running? Maybe you need APAR VM64870 "VMLINK INCORRECTLY DETACHES THE SYSTEM DISK"? The description doesn't sound correct, but the text talks about special handling for the S disk.
