I had a few backupset volumes that had the same problem and working with TSM 
support I was able to delete the volhist volume.  In my case something happened 
to allow the backupset to be deleted but all the volumes with it didn't go 
away.  It has been a few years since I've seen this.   You might want to open a 
call with support just in case.

My help says a wildcard is valid in the del backupset command - however, I
still get a no match message.

Try

QUERY BACKUPSET * * TODATE=04/04/2003

A look at HELP DELETE BACKUPSET shows that wildcards are not supported.
(If they were, it would say so, as it does for the QUERY BACKUPSET
command.) The proper syntax for the command would be

DELETE BACKUPSET

>tsm: ADSM>q vol 101334

Backupset tapes don't show up in a QUERY VOLUME command; only tapes that
belong to a storage pool show up with this command.
