gah.
Previously I added the aggr to the vm_storage SVM on the CLI and then ran vserver show again and only saw the previous aggr listed. Also, if I tried to create a new volume on that SVM in the webUI I only was presented with one option, the original SVM.
Now when I look in the webUI I can see both aggrs as an option for a new volume. Maybe I just needed to wait for the dust to settle.
I'm calling this pair of n00b issues resolved (shared aggregates and disk ownership). The painful part is that this n00b has been running toasters for about fifteen years now. For the last five years I've been branching into other things and clearly my toaster skills are aging.
Thanks all,
Randy

Yes. All you should need to do is:
vserver modify -vserver scharp_vm_storage -aggr-list scharpdata,scharp_vm_storage vserver modify -vserver scharpdata -aggr-list scharpdata,scharp_vm_storage vserver modify -vserver scharp_kube -aggr-list scharpdata,scharp_vm_storage
And now all three of your SVMs should be able to create volumes on both aggregates. You can then test with:
vol create -vserver scharp_vm_storage -aggregate scharpdata -volume \ test -size 1g
But if it doesn't, send the full command you used and the output for us to look at with you.

Randy, Check your configuration, you need to assign the aggregates to the vservers.

shows you the steps to take.
vserver show -fields aggr-list
vserver modify -vserver <vserver> -aggr-list <aggr1>,<aggr2>[,aggrN]
