I would recommend that you double check that RMAN script is actually
expiring old files (making active into inactive).
Once files are marked inactive they should be removed from TSM during
expiration according to terms specified  by the management classes to which
the files are bound.

Expiration is finishing successfully.  I takes about an hour to run, the DB
is 20 Gig at 50% util.  The reclamation threshold is 50% already.  What
should be noted is that the files are not expiring.  The volumes say full
and the used percentage is 100%.

How long does expiration take? Is it finishing? If not, you are in big
trouble.

What is your reclamation threshold? A good rule of thumb is to simply
set it to 50%, which is the default.
