Neither of those are manual snapshots. Try clicking the settings wheel for a share, and then click on the snapshot button. It will prompt you for a snapshot name. Then see if the snapshot is successfully created.

Ok. That says the issue isn't with the file system, it has to be something else that is triggering it.
Do you have disk spindown enabled? If so, check the power settings, and make sure that "spin up disks to take scheduled snapshots" is checked.
If that setting is checked, then disable spindown for a bit, and see that changes the behavior.
