John,
Have you tried the following:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=6M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1 DD VOL=SER=xxxxxx,UNIT=3390,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE -
dsn -
NVR -
FILE(DD1)
Where xxxxxx is the vol ser of the targeted dataset.

Since the problem is that the DSN Name is enqueued upon (which is pointing at
another dataset with the same name) you need to rename the dataset you want to
delete (so it is not a duplicate of a dataset with a current ENQ). One way to
do this is to use SUPERZAP to edit the VTOC entry to alter the dataset name.
Once this is done you can then do the delete. This may leave a orphan record in
the VTOCIX which may cause errors in the future if you try to allocate the
dataset name on that volume in the future (I do not know). There may be some
RACF issues to be allowed to run the SUPERZAP which might need to be looked
into.
