Nope, that's a stumper.  I'm wondering if you altered the expiration date for 
the image on file 1 before attempting to delete the image for file 2?  Or maybe 
you're experimenting with changing the expiration date of the image for file 2 
(rather than expiring it)?

  Thanks Neil. That's a very helpful tip. :)

  Any idea why I might get this message when trying to change the expire
  date for that backupid?

  "events out of sequence - image inconsistency"

  I was able to change the expire date for File 1 (backupid
  cxri_1015876801)from infinity to a date and the back to infinity, but
  I can't make any changes to backupid cxri_1026845835.
