DAGMan should in fact remove its children jobs.

There are a couple of DAGMan log files in the directory that you submitted 
your job from. One of them in a ".out" file with the standard output of 
DAGMan. It has lots of stuff about how it is running your jobs. When the 
DAGMan job is removed, this log should have information about how DAGMan is 
stopping its children before exiting.

Does this log have anything interesting in it? Any errors that might 
indicate the problem?

Nope, this should just work.
