Tom,
I am not certain this will work, but you could try it.  Do a DIRM USER
WITH which will get you a copy of the complete directory.  Manually add
your $EOV$ user, and do the steps for inporting a new directory.
Haven't done that in a while, but ISTR it involves moving some files
about and doing a DIRM INITLZ command.  Dirmaint may barf on this but it
may well work.
