If I read it right, you have: RESCROOT defined (a CLASS A (public) or R
(restricted) NSS) and you rebuilt it and it too is CLASS A or R along with
the original.

This is where a Test System is your friend.  Do it on a guest z/VM system
then build it for real, or just use a different name for the DCSS
temporarily. As far as I know, the segments are managed by name so you
can't say "load this one, not that one" if there are two with the same name.
