Rather than "bpexpdate", I meant "bpmedia -unfreeze", as you said.
Duh.

After thinking about it I decided to trying running the bpmedia -unfreeze on each of the SAN servers for each tape

I was going to suggest that. When you run the "bpmedialist" command, it should tell you which media server "owns" that tape. And I have seen a situation where more than one media server thought it owned a tape, in which case bpmedialist will only return the first media server that claims to own that tape. So I had to run the "bpexpdate" command on the first media server, then "bpmedialist" again, then "bpexpdate" again on the second media server that claimed the tape.

My apologies for the added emails. Why can't I figure this out before I hit the send button :-)

Sometimes just "verbalising" the question is enough to make the answer come of it's own accord :)
