If i remember correctly, dirmc is for backup only. How do you know that the
archived directories are using the default 14 day MC? What does

select * from archives where node_name =- 'nnnnn' and type = 'DIR'

show?

Also, unlike backups, i've always understood that archived directories are
not bound to the MC with the longest retention (RETOnly)
