Trying to install 6.4 and run into a situation where ccmsrv create -s <server> is corrupting the root dbspace.

It runs through the entire script installing logs, temp dbspaces, etc. Once it tries to shutdown (Quies..) the informix DB it attempts to write to the root space and by that time it's corrupted. We receive an error:

Creating temp dbspace ...
Creating log dbspace ...
Creating 21 logical logs .....................
Performing level 0 archive ...
Shutdown the database server ...
Bring the database server to quiescent mode ...
 
WARNING: unable to bring the database server to Quiescent state
oninit: Cannot open chunk '/data/informix_dbs/ccm64_root.dbs'. errno = 5
oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization
 
We have a 6.3 installation with raw partitions on a RAID using LUNs. We mirrored that configuration for the 6.4 installation. Permissions are correct on this dbspace. We've double checked that. Once this error occurs the label is corrupted. We have to relabel the root dbspace in order to get it back.

These spaces are very large and even taking the default values for the Kbytes we still get a corrupt root dbspace. We've expanded the 6.3 system before so we're fairly certain we've got the RAID/LUN/Solaris part of configuring and labeling the disks down.

Any suggestions?
