Go to SolutionSRDF/S - Getting errors trying to create dynamic RDF group

Attempting to run this command to create a new dynamic RDF group:
symrdf addgrp -label Group_02 -fibre -sid xxxx -rdfg 2 -dir 04d -remote_sid xxxx -remote_dir 04d -remote_rdfg 2
I receive this error message:
'2': duplicate name found in device list.
I've tried using many other numbers for the rdfg parameter, but always got the same result. Anyone experience this and know resolution?
Thanks.
Tried:
symrdf addgrp -label Group_02 -fibre -sid xxxx -rdfg 2 -dir 04d -remote_sid 000xxxxxxxxx -remote_dir 04d -remote_rdfg 2
Got:
'2': duplicate name found in device list.
Also ran this to ensure I wasn't crazy...
symcfg -sid xxxx list -rdfg 2
Result:
The specified RA group is not valid

try adding the full serial number of the remote array including the 3 leading 0's for the SID.
symrdf addgrp -label groupname -rdfg # -sid XXXX -dir YY -remote_rdfg # -remote_sid 000XXXXXXXXX -remote_dir YY

If your current SRDF is static is the dynamic rdf flag enabled in the bin file?
I tried it from the other side and this is the output:
symcfg list -sid xxxx -ra all
Symmetrix ID: 000xxxxxxxxx

Am I missing something? Here is an excerpt from the symapi_licenses.dat file:

Also, there appear to be no DG or CG on this system, which doesn't make sense to me..but then again, I'm no RDF expert.
