When SMF fills up MAN1 and automatically sets the DUMPXY to run, until DUMPXY has cleared out MAN1, SMF buffers its records. Once MAN1 is clear, SMF writes all its buffered records to MAN1. If you were to get MAN2 and MAN3 cleared, SMF would simply switch to MAN2 when MAN1 gets full and keep writing w/o buffering. Have you tried manually clearing out MAN2 and MAN3 using the command S DUMPXY,DSNAME=SYS1.MAN2.SHU4 and S DUMPXY,DSNAME=SYS1.MAN3.SHU4? If you have tried these, what does the D SMF look like now? If it shows they are still needing dumping, you need to look at the output from the S DUMPXY job to see if in fact it is grabbing the correct MAN dataset and is actually clearing it out.

Is it possible that there's a large backlog of buffered-in-storage records waiting to be written out, and as soon as you clear MANx, it fills up again from those? I've seen that here, but on small development images where there isn't a lot of MANx space in the first place.
