You may be the victim of a little trick that DB2 dbas do occasionally.
If they have piles of data that they failed to expire (because they
turned expiration off), they likely just dropped the catalog, and then
brought it back. Voila! their problem is solved. Unfortunately, TSM is
stuck now with all that orphaned data.

You will have to delete that data manually. Support should be able to
help you with that.
