If I understand correctly, there are two master catalogs--one for each LPAR--and one shared user catalog pointed to independently by the two mcats. As others have said, the catalog configuration for both LPARs must be *exactly* the same, including the SYSCAT parameter in LOADxx. It's also possible that one of the master cats (but not the other) contains an entry for a SYS7.R30.* dataset that was defined *before* the alias was created. Which is to say the mcats are not identical.
I might suggest that out-of-sync conditions in general would be minimized by having all sysplex LPARs share the same master catalog unless you have a compelling reason not to--like bronze-plex for example. . .

The Alias needs to be defined on every system you want to access it from. On a system where the alias is defined in the master catalog the datasets will be cataloged in the user catalog. On a system where the alias has not been defined in the master catalog the datasets will be cataloged in the master catalog.
