[snipped]

try removing the ';reuse', which is giving the rdup for your
keys that are specified as 'dup'.

as reported by 'help build parms':

;REUSE OR ;NOREUSE  THE REUSE OPTION FORCES KSAM XL FILES TO RE-USE
                    DELETED RECORD SPACE.  ALL RECORDS ARE ASSIGNED TO
                    THE FIRST AVAILABLE SPACE.  THE REUSE OPTION FORCES
                    THE RDUP FLAGS TO BE SET TO TRUE.

                    IF THE NOREUSE OPTION IS USED, DELETED RECORD SPACE
                    WILL NOT BE REUSED.  THE DEFAULT IS NOREUSE.
