Solution:

For the first situation, one of the files being used in the IEBCOPY process was not allocated with sufficient directory blocks. This is causing the copy to fail. To correct the problem, manually delete and define the file with the smaller number of directory blocks to match the file with the larger number of directory blocks. Once this is done, the MSMDEPLY job can be rerun and the problem will not re-occur.

For the second situation, verify that the extended attribute flag for the .../CEGPHFS/MSMPDSCP file is set. If not, set the attribute and rerun the MSMDEPLY job.

Do this by locating the .../CEGPHFS/MSMPDSCP file and issue USS command to list attributes

ls -E MSMPDSCP
-rwxrwxr-x  --s-  MSMPDSCP   <-- shows apf attribute not set
If +a is missing, then issue USS command to set attribute:
 
extattr +a MSMPDSCP
ls -E MSMPDSCP
-rwxrwxr-x  a-s-  MSMPDSCP  <-- shows apf attribute set
