It for sure is a problem in 7.4.5.1. I just got bit by it. The weird 
thing? It does not seem to affect all AFTD savesets I am deleting.

I do

nsrmm -y -d -S %%a/%%b

(where %%a=ssid and %%b=cloneid)

Then:

nsrstage -v -C -V %diskvol%

(where %diskvol% is the AFTD device)

Some of the diskvols work (space seems to be reclaimed), and some don't. 
Or so it appears. When I get to the office on Mon, I will try and track it 
down. But I am definitely seeing:

42506 11/15/2009 6:30:46 PM  2 0 0 2956 2952 0 admnman004 nsrd adv_file 
warning: Failed to fetch the saveset(ss_t) structure for ssid 2331826796. 

I had to do:

mminfo -q "volume=%diskvol% -r ssid(60),totalsize(3),sscreate(22),copies

Then search for the file named the same as ssid (on the client), and 
manually delete it (which is what the nsrstage is supposed to do ..).
 
This version of Networker is really getting on my nerves ...
