Ah...I see the confusion.  I wrote the above based on my
recollection of how things work.  I then tested it, realized
things were different and wrote the following (where the
"> >" lines are below) ... *without* remembering
to go back and update the above.  In the above, strike the
text:
    ", but nothing happens to the files on the user volume set"
and replace it with:

   If the user volume set is mounted, the files are purged from
   the group;

   if the user volume set is not mounted, no files are purged
   (nor are any purged when the volume set is mounted later);

   Regardless of the above, the group entry is removed from the
   account's list of groups on MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.

As stated above, the "purge files from B on volumeset" happens
because B has HOMEVS=uservolumeset *and* the uservolumeset is mounted.
(I'm avoiding using "<long_name>" because I don't know if you mean
uservolumeset or MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET)


Sorry for the mistake and confusion it caused!
