I have seen similar behavior before on a 7.4.x installation using a
nexan box as a adv  filetype device, we staged data from the file
device to tape with the help of scripts, problem was that some of the
stage volumes were not being emptied as they should, the device(s)
reported that it contained no savesets needing staging but we never
got the "storage" back, sorry to say we never found out why... We
"solved" the problem by doing a manual relabel of the volume from time
to time after doing a manual check to be sure all savesets had been
staged.

We have since then moved on and are using datadomain instead of tape
so the need for staging is gone.
