 Shows that savesets /data0 and /reseq-nhgri have expired, but /sge and 
/tcag-work have not, and they show up as browsable in the GUI, hence they won't 
expire while browsable.
In the case of the /sge saveset:
 mminfo -va | grep sge | grep full

full /sge
Shows that I've done 4 full backups since the original one on 6/10/06. And, mminfo -va | grep 2894750007
000042         a11ns01.jtc.jcvsf.org 06/10/06 02:01:03 6063 MB 2894750007 cbN 
full /sge

 Shows that for that saveset ID, this is the only volume that it resides on.
All of this is why we (+EMC/Legato) are pretty confused as I could go ahead and manually expire (recyclable) this volume, but what we expect is for it to auto expire. Some other volumes have been autoexpiring, but I've got 8-9 that should but haven't. Thanks,
 Randy
PS: I'm not meaning to hijack the OP's note, but since these issues are quite similar I thought I would go ahead and reply.

To troubleshoot that I would start with a command something like:

mminfo -q "client=a11ns01.jtc.jcvsf.org,name=/sge,!incomplete,!ssrecycle" -ot -r volume,level,savetime,ssexp which should make the problem easier to see. If you post the output here I will have another look.

I would probably run nsrim before starting. I have of course noticed that the save sets in the first query are from different clients.
