Jake, are you sure you are looking at the correct message in the manual? When I look up ADR308E I see a message related to ACCESS DENIED.
>From the z/OS 3.1 MVS System Messages Volume 1 (ABA - AOM) message manual. Same message shows up in earlier versions of the manual. ADR308E (ttt)-mmmmm(yy), ACCESS DENIED FOR VOLUME volume_serial_number Last Updated: 2025-04-23 Explanation One of the following explanations applies: * The user was unable to obtain the necessary RACF® or password access: o To the volume during a data set DUMP/COPY/CONVERTV/PRINT/RESTORE operation o To the volume during a COMPRESS or RELEASE or SPACERELoperation o To a data set on the volume for a full or tracks DUMP/RESTORE/COPY/PRINT operation. * The installation-wide exit routine denied access to the volume. * The operator denied access to a checkpoint/restart, RACF-protected, or system data set on the volume. * I/O errors were encountered during checking authorization of the volume, and the operator denied further processing. System action The task ends on a full or tracks operation. The volume is bypassed for a data set operation or for a COMPRESS or RELEASE or SPACEREL. The return code is 8. Operator response If the programmer has proper authority, reply U to ADR369D or ADR371D. Programmer response Obtain proper access authority, and retry the job.

Manual says its due to mismatch in RBA value. Is there a sample JCL to restore a specific VSAM from a full volume tape dataset ?
