Allison: Try upgrading your client to PTF 7.  With the new PTFs there
     is a new algorithm, directories are assigned to the default management
     class and only expired when all files in the directory have expired.

Dear everyone

We have 3 archive copy groups:
weekly - this retains 7 days
monthly - this retains 35 days
yearly - this retains 365 days

We have found that for the weekly copy group, the files are expiring after 7
days, but the directories are not expiring as we hoped and are picking up the
yearly copygroup expiry details. We would like the empty directorys to also
expire after 7 days.

Can anyone help

Thanks

Allison
