Symptom

5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager MQTST1.
AMQ8135: Not authorized.
No MQSC commands read.

IBM1:/myhome $
Cause
In this case the permissions for the runmqsc binary were not correct..
Resolving The Problem
The permissions for the runmqsc binary must be:
AIX:
-r-sr-s--- 1 mqm mqm sssss MMM DD YYYY /usr/mqm/bin/runmqsc
Others:
-r-sr-s--- 1 mqm mqm sssss MMM DD YYYY /opt/mqm/bin/runmqsc
Reset the permissions of the runmqsc binary in your system to the correct value.
Note another fix that was found
Ensure that in /etc/fstab the nosuid bit should not be set for the volume where the code for MQ is installed.
