Ed, When I recovered the dsn from the HSM incremental backup there were no error messages posted - I received the standard ARC0778I DATA SET WAS RECOVERED message. The datamover is DFDSS.

Check DFHSM for the error. Not sure what DFHSM would do if DFDSS were the data mover. I would guess that DFDSS invokes IEBCOPY under the covers and it wouldn't work so.....
