There is something more going on with your ACS routines. The FILTLIST you provided did not exclude IBMUSER datasets (but then that source had leading asterisks so it could have been all comments). The STORCLAS routines I used always checked the unit against a DASD FILTLIST (3390, SYSDA, etc) and marked the dataset non-SMS if the check failed.
