So just to update you all with the resolution here. I contacted IBM and they had me download a test PTF that has a tool for cleaning up SNADS distributions. I had to run 4 commands, some of which ran for a few hours. The final step which deleted the identified objects took 10 hours to run. The result was that they recovered the "missing" space. They were at 76% when the process started and it was reduced to 63% of 493.9 G total. That 13% reduction roughly matches the 15% that PRTDSKINF showed was allocated to SNADS, etc.

FYI - Just in case someone else runs into the same situation

73 gig allocated to SNADS ! They don't even use SNADS and all my
probings have failed to turn up just where this stuff hangs out. My
guess is that this is collateral damage from the open relay.
