BUG!  I worked with EMC for hotfixes for this for both 7.4.3 and 7.4.4, 
it is finally fixed in 7.4.5.2 for me.

Be aware that after you get the fix installed, the BACKUP volumes that 
should have expired, will go to "undef" instead of "expired" status. 
You'll have to manually recycle them to get them usable again.
