A saveset on adv_file has copies=2     so your query with copies>1 will
show the same whether or not the seaveset have been copied to tape... I
expect this script has been deleting stuff you didn't want deleted..

And my usual warning, when we discuss this topic (every two weeks or
so),   copies=3  does not necessarily mean you have a good copy on tape
- an aborted copy will still be counted. You need to check clflags
before deleting.
