Richard.
        Sorry I did not make it clear earlier. Basically we only want to
keep 7 days worth of the db filles(the most recent 7 days), any files more
than 7days old can be deleted. Is there a way to go back into the backup
pools to clean house?

Did you perform the necessary VALidate POlicyset and ACTivate
POlicyset to commit the TSM server retention policy changes?  And, of
course, EXPIre Inventory needs to run regularly, to completion.
