Bottleneck is you need to specify the hostname the media server came from:

bpexpdate: -m <media id> -d <mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS | 0 | infinity>
              [-host <name>] [-force] [-nodelete] [-notimmediate]

See -host, try using it.

To get the host information, bpmedialist -m MEDIA_ID.

Try this and tell me if you see any difference.
