First of all I bet that someone from development Level 3 already contact
you, if not, that will happen very soon and I know probably who...can't
give
you his name, I know he likes beer and he owns me a couple....;-)
Second of all your problem looks quite familiar to the problem we had
3 mounth ago (Expiration failed completely from a certain point).
They will give you some (hidden) tools to fix your problem, the same
they did with me. And if you'r lucky, you learn a lot more about the
inside of the TSM server....
And btw, our DB is "only" 75 Gbyte, we have "only" +550 million objects
and an auditdb fix=yes "only" took +5 days.....which is a no go
offcourse
for a production machine.
But we manage to fix the problems, with many effort and great help from 
Tivoli Support L3.

Cheers,
Henk.
