Use ISMF or something like that to search for all your 'other' dataset on all 
of your catalogs. Just to make sure there is not another [unwanted] duplicate 
on another volser. Just review your Linklist and APF that they are referring to 
the correct dataset and/or volser where applicable.

Wasn't that user cat not an old master catalog?

If you have say, XYZ.* on mastercatalog and also on usercatalog, then if you 
don't have an alias, you would see the entries on mastercatalog. But if you 
create an alias, you should see the entries on the usercatalog. But in your 
case, you're referring to SYS1.* entries, so you're probably sitting with 
duplicate entries.

Good luck, it took me also some time to understand that, and now, I have 
forgotten some parts of it. Yuck, can't remember everything... :-D
