Hajo,
/tmp was the problem. Even though the sysdumpdev command
was showing I had enough space, apparently the image in /tmp
crept over what it was showing and caused problems. After increasing
/tmp a partition, my program worked as expected.
Thanks so much -- you saved me from going bald prematurely.

1) Check if you have enough free space in / and /tmp
From the man page of mksysb
Note: Before running the mkszfile command, ensure that enough space is
available in the /tmp file to store a boot image. This space is
needed
during both backup and installation. To determine the amount of
space needed
in the /tmp file, issue the following command:
bosboot -q -a -d device
2)
Run the mksysb only with the -e and /dev/rmt0
$ mksysb -e /dev/rmt0
3) rerun the bosboot command with the -a option meaning:
$ bosboot -ad /dev/rmt0 # rewind
$ bosboot -ad /dev/rmt0.1 # no rewind
hth
