I thought I had replied to this, but I guess the list didn't forward
it...

When we had this problem (not marking the backuppieces as inactive),
it was because the environmental variables were not set when allocating
the channel for delete.  It made all the difference in the world.

For example:

allocate channel for delete type "SBT_TAPE"
parms 'ENV=(DSMI_ORC_CONFIG=/home/oracle/dsm.opt,
              DSMO_NODE=EMPI_ORACLE,
              DSMO_PSWDPATH=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin,
              DSM_CONFIG=/home/oracle/dsm.opt,
              DSMI_DIR=/home/oracle,
              DSMI_AVG_SIZE=1000)';


HTH,
