I just expired a bunch of images using bpexpdate -backupid <id> -d 0.

If I then query the tape number using bpimmedia, there is no images on the
tape.  If I use vmquery to query the tape number, though, the tape still
shows up as assigned.  I figure that there's a delay between expiring the
images and the tape being made available for reuse.  Is this the case?  Is
there a way to speed up the process?
