Steve (G.),
Others have properly alerted you to the filemode-2 requirement (that goes for public files on the Y-disk, too!). The S and Y-disks are accessed to only show files with filemode 2 (e.g. "ACCESS 19E Y/S * * Y2").
You didn't say why you were adding files to the S-disk. In my 29 years working on VM there have been very, very few reasons to add files the S-disk (190). Other than updating the "SYSTEM NETID S2" and "SYSTEM SEGID S2" on our z/VM 5.2 system we didn't update *any* files on S-disk. The only things placed on our S-disk are files IBM places there (sometimes during maintenance).
The Y-disk (19E) is where we place Independent Software Vendor and other system-wide shared, supported local files. Way, way back, IBM used to place their Licensed Products on MAINT's 319 disk (we didn't want to give up another filemode for that, and moved them to the 19E disk).
We do (personal choice) have a MAINT 19C disk, where we place various "lesser-supported" local and public domain tools (many from the IBM VM Download page or VM Workshop tapes). That MAINT 19C disk is clearly documented as being supported on a best-effort-basis and should not be used for production-quality applications.

Subject: z/VM 5.2 and the S disk
Hello. I am installing 5.2 and need to add a couple of EXEC's to the S disk (mdisk MAINT 190) I've accessed 190
as another mode, added my two execs and rebuilt the CMS saved segment. Logged off of the user, logged
back on. When I do a FILELIST on the S drive, the EXEC's don't show up, but when I access 190 in another mode
they are there. Therefore, I don't think they are being executed. What do I need to do to get these EXEC's
to show up on the S drive?
Thanks,
Steve G.
