You're not doing anything wrong, but RESYNC may indeed not be doing what 
you want.  If that's the case, send us feedback through the official 
channels.

The LABEL operand on the FLASHCOPY command is provided by z/VM as a matter 
of convenience, and is likely most useful for non-persistent (or at least 
non-incremental) relationships.  But, it is not subject to the same 
persistence as the FlashCopy relationship itself, which is managed by the 
DASD subsystem.  As a result, the RESYNC command you're doing is noting 
that the labels on AAA and BBB are different and thus should also be 
resynchronized.

Regards,
