Volume Retention in seconds is not summing up very well.
Perhaps you believe me, I checked "Volume Retention", "Use duration", 
"Expire" and "Last Written" for the tapes in bat.

Right now, I cannot deliver the requested information, I cleared the 
tape. Next week I'm going to do further tests.

By theory this should work flawless:

Tape "FridayInc5":
Volume Retention: 25 days
Last Written: 2014-06-01
Expire: 2014-06-26
Use duration: 5 days
Vol. Bytes: 38 GB
Vol. Status: Append
Recycle: Yes

Thanks, I know, did and checked afterwards.
