Is there any way to initiate the file deletion from the Server side? Doesn't
the Expire command only mark the file inactive and depending on the
management class it goes out and expires it? What I need to do is to delete
one file both inactive/active from a specific client on an ad-hoc basis
without any intervention on the clients side.

Is there any way to delete from the TSM server's database itself?

Thanks for the previous response Richard! =)

Use the client EXPire command, or do backups of a dummy surrogate
to push the old one off the cliff.
