Obviously things aren't getting setup correctly. I wonder if I put it 
all in the correct spots.

Please, don't take this as an offense (I'm not English native, so I do not
know how this would "sound" in English), but... After editing SYLOGICALS and
SYLOGIN have you rebooted the system or have you executed those definition
commands by typing them at a command prompt?

If you just put the definitions in the files, but haven't done anything more,
they were never considered: SYLOGICALS is read during startup and SYLOGIN
during process login.

You can define manually both logicals and symbols at the command line prompt
instead of rebooting the whole thing. But they have to be in the SY* files
too, or after the next reboot you'll have to do the manual typing again.
