[Info-vax] Newbie II: proper dismount

Ok, one other question for the helpful souls here...  I have the symbol 
"BOOT" defined as follows to be able to reboot from a telnet/ssh 
terminal:

$ show sym boot
  BOOT == "RUN /DETACHED /INPUT=SYS$APPS:[TOOLS]BOOT.COM /OUTPUT=NL: SYS
$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT.EXE"

And the boot.com script is simply this single line:

$ type sys$apps:[tools]boot.com
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN 0 SHUTDOWN NO YES LATER YES NONE

Whenever I reboot my machine that way (or shut it down with the proper 
argument change for SHUTDOWN and power back on), it comes back up with 
this:

%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, APPS mounted on _AS600$DKA100:
%MOUNT-I-REBUILD, volume was improperly dismounted; rebuild in progress
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, USER mounted on _AS600$DKA300:

I assume the improper dismount is the USER volume, since the message 
comes before the mount message.  If I do the same reboot from the hard 
console

$ show sym reboot
  REBOOT == "@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN 0 SHUTDOWN NO YES LATER YES NONE"

then I do NOT get the message.  Seems like something I read a while back 
when I first noticed this led me to believe it _could_ just be due to a 
bug in OpenVMS 8.3, but I'm inclined to think I have something setup 
wrong.  So, is there a piece I don't have quite right for this to do a 
clean shutdown?  Perhaps I'm missing something in part of the system 
shutdown routine that actually does the dismounting?  If someone knows a 
fix, I'd be glad to have it.

thanks!
James
