Always ensure that your media server database in on your Master Server -
If the bpexpdate does not work the the deassignbyid should work

In the media server host properties - check the boxes to allow overwrite all
media types, "that's save if you are using tapes that have been used
before"
In media server properties - Check allow multiple retentions per media -
That's safe as well - Unless you need to only allow the same retentions per
tape.
