This has been discussed here before. I haven't searched the archives and don't remember the details, but I think the PDSE space reclamation happens when the dataset is closed, not as soon as the member is deleted or replaced. This close does not take place for a dataset in the linklist of ultiple MVSs. I could very well have the explanation wrong, and it may be woefully out of data (as I said, this was over 4 years ago) but at the time this was "working as designed" behavior.
