Proper format is VOL.000.000 and VOL.001.000
Perms need to be readable, chmod 755 is fine.
Sum -r VOL* is

44932  2582 VOL.000.000
17259   471 VOL.001.000

Additionally you should be able to

cpio -itv < VOL.000.000
cpio -itv < VOL.001.000 

without error- if you can't or the sums above are wrong,
then "custom" can't possibly work either.  Most likely
you'll find that these are corrupt- did you download them
using "binary"?  If you used a Windows browser, they very
often screw this up- Microsoft's programmers are Internet
morons.  Use a real ftp client- download one if you have
to.  How did you transfer from Windows to SCO if you used
Windows- again, you'd need to set "binary".
