I belive the files are still bound to their original management class, but
already marked for deletion according to your RETONLY value.
(i.e., out of luck...)

After the backup runs tonight, you can poke around and look with a query
like this:

select ll_name, backup_date, deactivate_date from backups where ll_name like
'%PART_OF_A_FILENAME%' and
node_name='NOVELLNODEVICTIM'
