"eseutil /ms <dbname>" will give you the full space utilization layout
of your database.
It's pretty easy to write a WMI script that shows you dumpster contents
too, if you really think that that might be an issue. Check out the
Exchange_MailBox class of WMI.

I ran an offline defrag via eseutil /d, which did not recover much
(maybe
8 or 9 GB not the expected 50+ GB).

I selected the "dumpster data" option when I exported the PST's so there
should be no dumpster data left afaik.
