Make sure that the user has a UID defined within RACF.
You can do an ALTUSER UNAME OMVS( UID(12345) HOME('/u/username'))
I deleted my UID through RACF and got the same error you were getting from
within OMVS.
Also, when OMVS is started you may see this error which also says there is
no UID set:
Function = seteuid(), terminal name = '/dev/ttyp0000', program name =
'/bin/fomtlinc', errno = 164 (X'000000A4'), reason code = 0B7F
0804, message = 'EDC5164I SAF/RACF error.'
