ALE error - variant LOGSYS does not exist?

Question

In trying to setup ALE within SAP (ECC 5.0) to send a material master IDOC from the ERP to XI.  I followed the ALE Quick Start guide and several other resources on the net including IDOC Cookbook and others.  When I try to select transaction BD10 (Send Material Master), it returns the following error:
Variant LOGSYS does not exist
The long text is:
Variant LOGSYS does not exist
Message no. DB612
Diagnosis
You selected variant LOGSYS for program RBDSEMAT.
This variant does not exist.
Procedure
Correct the entry.
In trying to narrow down the problem, I created a minimal scenario of just sending the MATMAS IDOC from one client to another on the same system and I get the same error.
My first thought was the logical systems for the two
clients were not setup correctly, but they seem okay.  I'm using the 'PRODUCTION' logical system that came with the IDES version we installed (client 811) and trying to send to a new client I setup as logical system VM1CLNT300 (client 300) on the same system.
RFC Destinations test okay, partner profiles, ports, and the distribution model seem okay.
Googling for that error message above produced nothing that I could get an answer from.  Any ideas?
Thanks,

Answer 1

Yes, both logical systems are there.  Additionally, each
client has been set to the appropriate logical system:
client 811 -> PRODUCTION logical system
client 300 -> VM1CLNT300 logical system
