My database in not reducing in size after an offline defrag - need some help

My database in not reducing in size after an offline defrag - need some help - I could not get the Store to mount a few weeks ago and learned of the 16 gig limitation. I ran the following to get back online

eseutil /mh "d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb
eseutil /mh "d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.edb
isinteg -s server4 -fix -test alltests

I also added a reg addition from Microsoft which gives you 17gig max instead of 16

My priv1.EDB is 12,988,680 and the priv1.stm is 3,780,616

I started with two of my worst offenders which had 1.8 gig inboxes and moved 1 gig from each to a PST file to a mapped drive on another server. I dismounted the Store and ran the following

Eseutil /d d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb

3 hours later everything completes with no errors but my database is not reducing in size

How much white space does event ID 1221 indicate after the online defrag has completed?
If there is no white space in the database then the offline defrag will not achieve much.
