This fails because you have existing files in the system volume set
(?).  Had you previously done a :store...;purge and duplicated your
restore above it would have "created and moved" the files to USER01.  Or
at least it used to -- I *know* I have used this technique to move
groups across volume sets in the past.  Perhaps it takes a :purgegroup
first.
This matter has always been *terribly* confusing, along with the
directory options for user volumes.
