We had the same trouble but managed to workaround it  Add two parameters
to the MPEX RENAME command for MPE/iX 5.0 to prevent the adding of an
ACD and retention of the original FILEGROUP ID, the following should be added
to the MPEXMGR.PUB.VESOFT file to execute each time MPEX is run :
 
   :SETVAR VESOFTDEFAULTRENAME ";LOCALGROUPID;DELACD"
 
I hope this is of some help.
