I'm not sure exactly what the script does, but keep in mind that the 
space isn't going to be released until the link count on the cpool files 
goes down to 1 (that is, there are no longer any backups that contain a 
linked copy) - and unless the deletion script does it, you may also have 
to wait until Backuppc_nightly run to remove the last link for the pool 
copy.
