I would need more information. For example, I can understand how this can
happen if it is, say, a point-in-time restore. In that case, if the
management class with the longest retention period happens to have a lower
VEREXISTS or VERDELETED than the management class to which the directory's
files are bound, you can have a situation where files exist for a given
date, but not the parent directory. Or if DIRMC points to a directory with
a lower RETONLY setting.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
