Externalising the ZFS ucat Automount allocation error’s in SYSLOG.

A change is needed for the 'UCAT' option of the 'ALLOCUSER' parm in automount.

A error message should be externalized to SYSLOG when the creation of the end users zfs fails because there is no ALIAS in the master catalog. Currently the only way to determine this error is to run 'automount -e' and it only lists the most recent failure... not all of them.

Also if this error occurs in a batch job... a correct error messgae(s) should be displayed besides “EDC5129I No such file or directory".

reference case 'TS017916629'
