Try 

  QUERY BACKUPSET * * TODATE=04/04/2003

>tsm: ADSM>del backupset * *
>ANR2034E DELETE BACKUPSET: No match found using this criteria.
>ANS8001I Return code 11.

A look at HELP DELETE BACKUPSET shows that wildcards are not supported.
(If they were, it would say so, as it does for the QUERY BACKUPSET
command.) The proper syntax for the command would be

  DELETE BACKUPSET <node_name> <backupsetname>

>tsm: ADSM>q vol 101334
>ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria.
>ANS8001I Return code 11.

Backupset tapes don't show up in a QUERY VOLUME command; only tapes that
belong to a storage pool show up with this command.
