Ahh! I found the problem. The GDGs that don't work are definitely screwed up in the catalog. There are G000V00 entries, but when I do a LISTC ALL on the base, they are *not* listed as associations.
FWIW - the SVC99 error code issued are really bad - it should probably that the entry was not found. Also - I get the same error when I allocate a new dataset using (+1), which I guess probably failed because it found when it tried to create a 0 generation entry and found that one already existed in the catalog that wasn't associated in the base entry.
