Have you tried running your DEFINE AIX, DEFINE PATH, BLDINDEX commands without a CATALOG parameter? You keep having catalog issues, and I don't use the CATALOG parameter when I am defining VSAM data sets (in fact, I don't recall needing to use the CATALOG parameter except in rare cases when I'm working on system upgrades). Granted, I'm doing so on z/OS so z/VSE may be different, but you should at least try taking the CATALOG (....) off the various statements. The system will use the default catalog if you don't specify one in the IDCAMS command.
