Everything is working as designed. SPACPRIM is reducing the primary allocation and re-driving the allocation request. I think STOPX37 has parameters that say something along the lines reduce it by 10% to a minimum of 20%. The primary space can be satisfied with the largest 5 extents on one volume. I suspect CONNECT:Direct is then repeating the whole process in attempt to create the file.
You need to increase the space available in the storage group by adding volumes or by running DEFRAGs. Are your ACS routines over riding the STORCLAS, MGMTCLAS and DATACLAS supplied by the application/user? If not you may be allowing them to shoot themselves in the foot.
