Thanks, In my case:

Shows that savesets /data0 and /reseq-nhgri have expired, but /sge and
/tcag-work have not, and they show up as browsable in the GUI, hence they won't
expire while browsable.
In the case of the /sge saveset:
mminfo -va | grep sge | grep full
000024 a11ns01.jtc.jcvsf.org 09/29/06 19:00:03 7141 MB 320710055 cbN

Shows that I've done 4 full backups since the original one on 6/10/06.
And,
mminfo -va | grep 2894750007
000042 a11ns01.jtc.jcvsf.org 06/10/06 02:01:03 6063 MB 2894750007 cbN
full /sge
Shows that for that saveset ID, this is the only volume that it resides on.
All of this is why we (+EMC/Legato) are pretty confused as I could go ahead
and manually expire (recyclable) this volume, but what we expect is for it to
auto expire.
Some other volumes have been autoexpiring, but I've got 8-9 that should but
haven't.
Thanks,
Randy
PS: I'm not meaning to hijack the OP's note, but since these issues are quite
similar I thought I would go ahead and reply.

These issues almost always come down to a misunderstanding of how
retention policies and save set dependencies work.
Howard has explained perfectly what the original poster's problem is.
Yours is probably similar.
It is not the volume that expires, it is the save set. If the save set
depends on another save set in order to correctly allow a point in time
recovery to meet the specified retention policy, then it will not
expire, hence the volume containing it will not become recyclable.
