Hi Jack. 

I'm going thru a similar process, although with a much smaller number of 
volumes.  ADRDSSU also allows you to specify STORGRP instead of the volser:

  DUMP OUTDD(BUFILE) STORGRP(MACS)    -
       DATASET(INCLUDE(**,            -
                       USERCAT.MACK01 -
                       )              -
               EXCLUDE(SYS1.V*.**)    -
               BY(DSCHA,EQ,YES)       -
               ) -
       OPTIMIZE(4) SHARE TOL(IOER,ENQF) COMPRESS

With TYPRUN=NORUN, or with my "BUFILE" set to DD DUMMY, an error will be 
generated and RC set to 8 for each dataset that is not cataloged.  Some of the 
parms are only of use when I do actually do the DUMP.   

This will run a long time though, so with 8000 volumes you might want something 
less resource instead.
