I am obviously having a brain cramp, because I can't figure this out.

I have files on a NetWare client  (6.5, SP4) that seem to be retained past the 
parameters of thier management classes. One example:

File:  Testrehab.xls

Four versions of this file are stored by Tivoli:

Active         April 17
Inactive      March 17
Inactive      March 16
Inactive      March 2


However, these are the retention settings:

Versions Data Exists 30 
Versions Data Deleted 30 
Retain Extra Versions 30 
Retain Only Version 30 


Shouldn't the inactive files that were backed up on 3/2 and 3/16 be expired?

Running TSM 5.1.7.0 on z/OS. Yes, I know I need to upgrade - am in the process 
of that now, but thought I should figure out this issue first.  I've reviewed 
manuals and redbooks, but am obviously missing something.
