RC=8 specifically says "an attempt was made to obtain space on the next 
specified volume". In your case, it tried unsuccessfully to allocate secondary 
to this volume.

If the doc and what you told us is correct, then RC=8 tells us you have a 
problem with the 7th volume. Removing volumes 2 thru 6 from the allocation 
should fail on volume 2 with RC=8. If not, then report the bug to IBM because 
either the doc is incorrect or it's issuing the wrong RC.

This seems to rule out all problems except free space on volume 7. Run the 
following exec (verify first) which should get RC=4 instead of RC=8 and use all 
9 volumes.
