I ran a scheduled Backup on a single file and the pruning was completed.
I checked the documentation and it states "The schedlogretention option
specifies the number of days to keep entries in the schedule log, and
whether to save the pruned entries. The schedule log is pruned after a
scheduled event completes."  Which would indicate to me that it is
suppose to run after any scheduled event. 

Is something broke or is the documentation wrong ?
If anybody can clarify I would appreciate.

Curiousity: have you tried adding it to the relevant client option set
on the server? I for one would be interested as to whether that did the
job better.

Another curiousity: does log retention work on archives only? I always
see the trimming going on at the end of a scheduled backup. You might
try a single scheduled backup on one box to see if that trims the logs.
