Sounds like you're making very good progress.

FYI, a quick way to get this is with "ls -lL /dev/vx/rdsk/geacdgA/vol04".

We use that here and it can be a PITA. Don't change the ownership,
but I would recommend changing the group and setting the mode (it won't
cause any problems, although you should always keep security in mind).
The bad news is, volume manager will change them back again any time it
feels like it. We run the following in a boot script (adjust as needed
for your volume names and Amanda group):
for volume in /dev/vx/rdsk/[A-Z]*
do
if [ -d $volume ]
then
find $volume -type c \
-exec $DEBUG chgrp backup {} \; \
-exec $DEBUG chmod 0640 {} \;
fi
done
