I'm not 100% sure but I think you havn't saved your changes to the partiiton table there, so it's reverting back to the previous size.
Try saving the changes (I think it's using 'label' before you quit)

[edit] Also, leave slice 2 alone, don't newfs it or your could clobber the entire disk. You want to newfs slice _3_[/edit]
