Confused about your disks - can you show the output of zpool status.

If you have a raidz of N disks with a minimum size of Y GB, you can
expect ``zpool list'' to show a size of N*Y and ``zfs list'' to show a
size of roughly (N-1)*Y.

So, on my box with 2 x 6 x 1.5 TB drives in raidz, I see a zpool size
of 16.3 TB, and a zfs size of 13.3 TB.
