Okay, what finally worked to do this to back it up was a CPYTOSTMF as Scott Klement suggested from the save file, with the DBCCSID = 37 and the remote CCSID = 1252.
One gotcha for me was that even though I was able to create a directory QNTC/11.12.13.14, this connected to nothing because my user-ID was not the one with the remote credentials.
To clarify one of my confused notes earlier, the USERID(remoteuser) parameter worked to get to the remote server.

Now it's an issue of bandwidth. (I think)
This copy is going to a box sitting in a data center, over a dedicated 1G line that thinks it's all local.
It's actually some 250 save files, and they total up to over 1 terabyte, and it's taking way too long to copy them all.
Our manager said IBM has a product that breaks up a big file into parts and transfers them much faster.
I did a search and found IBM's "Aspera High-Speed File Transfer" here:
http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/high-speed-file-transfer
Does anyone have experience with this or is there another suggestion, and does it cost "reasonably" for a small fast-growing shop?

Tim,
Thanks for letting us know what ended up working for you.
For my own information, some questions if you don't mind:
1) did you try CPYFRMSTMF as I suggested and find that it did not
work? I know that CPYFRMSTMF is often used to populate save files.
2) Why did you specify TOCCSID(*CALC) on your CPY command? I suspect
it's ignored because DTAFMT(*BINARY) is the default on the CPY
command. But to someone who doesn't know that, the TOCCSID(*CALC)
would seem like a curious thing to do. Translating save file data
between CCSIDs makes no sense.
