Craig has it right, but I would suggest one improvement.  Create the temporary group on the target volume set.  Once you have built the replacement group on the target volume set, you can move the files there with a rename rather than a copy, which is much faster.  

Another approach would be to STORE the files, and restore them once the group was relocated.  That way you could preserve creation and modification dates, and creator ID.

It is simple but not that simple.

What you need to do is create a temporary group.

Copy files in the group you want to move to the temporary group.

Delete the group

Create the new group using

NEWGROUP xxx;homevs=volume_set
NEWGROUP xxx;onvs=volume_set

Note that it is a two step command.

Then copy the files from the temp group to the newgroup.
