Although at first glance I would have said that you have a bad DUP.SAV(same program for both commands), I can't see that happen with both
V4.00 DUP.SAV and V5.00 DUP.SAV, especially on switching from
V4.00 RT11XM to V5.00 RT11SJ.

Maybe try the /NOQUERY switch:
COPY/DEV/NOQU DY0: DY1:
also
INIT/NOQU DY1:
That way it does not ask for a response. Worth a try.
