So if that save set had not already expired then the volretent time
would have immediately changed as soon as I changed the clretent time,
without me having to run the 'nsrmm -o notrecyclable' command, correct?
What about the ssretent? Would that have changed to be the same as the
clretent, too?

Yes - just try it on a recoverable save set.
In general, there is no difference between the ssretent an the clretent time 
because the first save set instance already has a cloneid (timestamp).  By 
using the cloneid to exactly specify the instance, you do not really need the 
clretent any more. But i never personally verified that.
