Well, this is a big DUHH!!

Please try:

        sim> set dz DISABLE

instead of:

        sim> set dz DIS

Since "DISconnect=line" is one of the command options for the DZ device, the argument is indeed invalid.  I'll see if I can make the error message more informative (like: "missing argument value"), but that might still not be clear given the blinders we both had on while looking at this.
