Jim, I think you hit on it.  I restored the bad file and it is  ALWDLT *NO
On the S36 BLDFILE proc, the default is NOT delete capable
My recreating of the file as you mentioned caused it to be ALWDLT  *YES 
and my CPYFRMSTMF worked fine.
There is some discussion of changes to authority requirements for 
CPYFRMSTMF in the Memo to Users V6R1. 
        
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/rzaq9/rzaq9.pdf
These didn't seem to apply, as I even tried my CPYFRMSTMF using the 
QSECOFR profile and still got a 'Not authorized to object' message.  Just 
a little misleading.
Thanks for all of the responses to this issue.

Re: Can't open some file members after upgrade to 6.1
I would suggest you be proactive, and run a
DSPFD FILE(YOURLIB/*ALL) TYPE(*ATR) OUTPUT(*PRINT) FILEATR(*PF)
to print or an outfile & check your other files.
check these values
Allow read operation  . . . . . . . . . . . :            Yes
Allow write operation . . . . . . . . . . . :            Yes
Allow update operation  . . . . . . . . . . : ALWUPD     *YES
Allow delete operation  . . . . . . . . . . : ALWDLT     *YES
Your deleting and recreate of the earlier files would default all these 
values to Y.
There could be some rule now enforced when files open that was not 
enforced 
before.
   03 -- File capabilities will not allow open.  The file's
capabilities conflict with the requested access.
