Database volumes only expire when off-site (or delete volhist t=dbb)
(still early so could be overlooking something).

I also have this problem with dbsnapshots and have tried everything I
know to get rid of 3 dbsnapshot tapes I have on a 5.5.1.0 system with no
luck. They will just not go away. They stay in the volhist no matter
what I do to try and remove them and are now 14 months old. Everything
matches another system I have, same OS, same level as this one and that
one works fine.
They don't show in q drm, they do show in volhist and will not delete
with the proper command, they do show in q libvol

At this point I don't think it's me anymore. Then again.......
