Check that what you think is one week really is one week:

Bring up the client's configuration.  Make a note what's in 'browse policy' and 
'retention policy.'

Then bring up Customize->Policies (on the old nsradmin anyway), and bring up 
the entry that the client is using.  If it's really a week, it should have 
'period' set to days and 'number of periods' set to 5 or 7.

Example:  I have a retention policy that says '2 weeks' but officially is set 
to '10 days' since I want the offsite tapes to truly be reusable when they get 
here (and worst case we can hold the incoming tape for SS Recovery).

If you're running on 7.3.x and above, you'll also need to check the retention 
policy that's set on the pool your adv_file device is associated with.
