May be worth checking the state of the file from the backups table.

select node_name, ll_name, state, class-name, backup_date, deactivate_date
from backups
where node_name = 'nodename', filespace_name = 'filespacename', ll_name =
'name of the file and extension'

This will show all versions of the file and the management class assigned
to the file, when the file is due to be eligible for expiration processing
(deactivate date) etc.
