I eventually got it working but not completely sure why. I did caget Sys{Dev}OLDMOV a few times and sometimes it worked but sometimes it said PV disconnected, and also then a different message that said "Channel connect timed out: some PV(s) not found."

I restarted the IOC a few times and it did not help. Later I closed some instances of camonitor and bluesky that were running and restarted the IOC, and also the type now shows DBF_ENUM instead of DBF_LONG, and camonitor works as expected. Not sure if closing bluesky/camonitor is what fixed it or just a coincidence.

What does ...  caget Sys{Dev}OLDMOV.RTYP ... return?

Kay is correct.  I don't think the record you are looking at is a bo record.  This is what cainfo says for a bo record:

corvette:~/devel/asyn/asyn>cainfo 13IDD:Unidig1Bo0
13IDD:Unidig1Bo0
    State:            connected
    Host:             ioc13idd.cars.aps.anl.gov:5064
    Access:           read, write
    Native data type: DBF_ENUM
    Request type:     DBR_ENUM
    Element count:    1

Note that it is DBF_ENUM, not DBF_LONG.
