There are only the 3 page datasets on each of the 2 volumes, and they take all of the available space. I was going to mention in the original post that our datacenter is contracted out, so there is really nothing I can do about changing our paging configuration.
I know someone mentioned that it was not a good idea to put other datasets on paging volumes. When I was at P&H Mining, I used the page datasets for a lot of vendor product datasets. We didn't do much paging there either, so I don't think it hurt us. I agree, its not a good practice to put other data on page packs, but when you are short of disk space, you make do with what you have.
