ESS Flashcopy question

I am trying to automate the establishing of flashcopies. I do the
following commands in a shell script:

umount filesystems

varyoffvg volume groups

exportvg volume groups

execute flashcopy tasks

importvg volume groups virtual path

varyonvg volume groups

mount filesystems

This works great the 1st time. On subsequent times, the importvg fails
with

0516-304 getlvodm: Unable to find device id ...
...

This is a P630 running AIX 5.1. Reading documentation, it appears I
could use recreatevg instead of importvg, but it requires the hdisk
values.

Question: Should I use recreatevg or importvg?
Advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks for your help,
Gene
