If a tape is vaulted, in the vault pool, then vault would not want that tape 
going into the scratch pool when expiring. The point of vaulting a tape is to 
put it offsite, and out of the normal tape rotation. If you use vault to 
re-import those tapes, then they could be expired and brought back into 
scratch.

I just did that (rich-clicked it:  unsuspend) and then later ran 
bpimage -cleanup but the tape is still on the vault volume pool (it won't go 
to Scratch as I expected).

When I unsuspended it...it chnaged to "Full".  The data-expiration column 
shows:  10/26/1008.  I can't query the catalog for tape contents so I guess 
it really expired.  

Isn't the "Data Expiration" column the expiration date for the last image (to 
be expired) on tape? If so...why is it showing "Full" as its status?   :(

Best regards,
Jorge
