OK now, apparently everything is Case sensitive, I should have known?
The policy name was Condor-Snap-Resubmit with capitals for the C, S and R
In the name,  once I caught that I changed all images to expire in 1 year
And that works in the view images on media reports, but the tape
Media ID still indicates 3 months retention.  Although I do not think that
Will be an issue because all of the images on the 4 tapes will not expire
Until 7/3/2006. That's what we were looking for. It would be nice to change
The entire tape by media ID retention?

Thanks
Eric

Are you SURE you want to recalculate expiration dates on all images
that meet the following criteria:
  client           condor-p
  policy           Condor-Snap-Resubmit
  backupid         Condor-p_1120436686
  retention will be changed to 8(1 year)

Continue?(y/n)y

I have tried the -m for media but it indicates to use either the policy name or 
backupID -

I have been attempting to use the backupid with no luck? 
It indicates that NO ENTITY WAS FOUND ?

I then refresh and re-run the images on media and it still indicates
90 days retention level?

Thanks

You'll be looking for a form of the bpexpdate command.

Something along the lines of bpexpdate -m <media id> -recalculate 
-retention X
