It exists, but there are no valid images on it to expire. As long as its 
in either a configured scratch pool or another valid volume pool, NBU 
will mobilize the tape when it needs to.

"Expiration Date" has actually two definitions in NBU. There's the 
expiration date of the data, as it is defined by your retention levels, 
and there's the expiration date of the tape itself, or a "physical 
expiration date". "physical expiration date says", that you're 
pre-defining a time period, after which, the tape is presumed to be 
beyond its lifespan and shoud be discarded. I don't know of anyone who 
actually expires tapes. Try running vmquery -m <media-id> That will 
return the physical location of the tape, as well as other attributes.
