I've seen similar things from Networker (in our case, Sun's OEM-ed 
SBU/EBS). I've seen mminfo list volumes as having volretent dates days and 
weeks earlier than numerous saveset expiration dates on that very volume, 
etc. Obviously, a volume cannot become recyclable until every piece of 
every saveset on it becomes recyclable. Other times, all savesets were 
recyclable, yet the volume wasn't (and it had not been manually touched). 
I don't rule out an mminfo bug or two...  :-)
