Thanks Mark. I did as you suggested, and used one of our already defined high level qualifiers(OMVSU) for this. I was thinking long term, that if I treated the physical dataset like the other user datasets that they would get cleaned up automatically when people quit, etc.
Giving OMVS the permission did the trick. Thanks All.

I'm also wondering what userid the allocation is occurring under. The userid of the user, or the userid of OMVS(OMVSKERN) in our case.

I would do the same for HFS files for OMVS. You may want to use a system HLQ instead of userid. Users don't need access to user HFS / zFS file system data sets, only the sysprogs / storage admins do. In one of our sysplexes we changed that when we migrated to zFS for user file systems. There is a documented possible security exposure if you use the userid as the HLQ.
