Vendor's technical support would be an idea to consider.  

Otherwise what else is unique about the "target" DASD volume, possibly EAV/EAS 
type (though consider you mentioned 3390-3) - inquire with Stg Mgmt for 
additional insight on DASD environment consideration.  

Sometimes a simple TSO ISPF DSLIST 3.4 "V" command against the two volumes (and 
datasets) may reveal uniqueness for follow-up with vendor.
