$ mount/identification=override dka400:
%DCL-W-IVQUAL, unrecognized qualifier - check validity, spelling, and placement
  \IDENTIFICATION\
$ mount/override=identification dka400:
%MOUNT-I-WRITELOCK, volume is write locked
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, OPENVMS070LP mounted on _TNYVAX$DKA400:

I apparently had one too many S's in there. That mounted it, but the
"layered" products disk only has Softwindows, X25, and something else on it.
