I went back up the thread. You say a LISTCAT shows that your system thinks it is a USERCATALOG now. Have you tried DELETE USERCAT FORCE?
Another trick I've done (as an extreme last resort) is to zap the VTOC to change the file to a straight sequential file, then delete it. But that leaves the VVDS in an inconsistent state. Have you printed the VVDS out? What does the VVDS entry say for the catalog it is supposed to be found in?
