Unfortunately, "/" is the home directory for root users on Unix System
Services. Yet another example of IBM getting it wrong in that environment.
:(
Still, I just did a test on a z/OS 1.2 system:
mkdir //.ssh/
worked by creating /.ssh as I expected it to.
Paul, are you running with a read-only root HFS? If so, then you'll have to
set the HOME environment variable. If not, simply creating the .ssh
directory should work.

HOME seems to be set to '/'
Are you doing this as root or as a normal user?
Either way, set HOME to the correct value.
