[Networker] mminfo weirdness

Hi All,
        We've been using scripts to generate billing information on the
quantity of data our clients have in our Networker system. After a
frustrating hour where all my test scripts started returning numbers
double what I was expecting I came across the following oddness:

Total for all valid (non-recyclable) savesets remaining for client (name
changed to protect the innocent)
$ mminfo -a -q 'client=server1,!ssrecycle' -r totalsize |
/nsr/scripts/_addNumbers.pl
4568979531500

And total for all savesets expiring after now.
$ mminfo -a -q 'client=server1,ssretent>now' -r totalsize |
/nsr/scripts/_addNumbers.pl
8726515876876

And for completeness, there are no non-recyclable, expired savesets, or
recyclable savesets with retention times in the future.

$ mminfo -a -q 'client=server1,!ssrecycle,ssretent<=now' -r totalsize |
/nsr/scripts/_addNumbers.pl
mminfo: no matches found for the query
$ mminfo -a -q 'client=server1,ssrecycle,ssretent>now' -r totalsize |
/nsr/scripts/_addNumbers.pl
mminfo: no matches found for the query

Further investigation showed the query using ssretent is picking up the
savesets and clones, where the one using ssrecycle only returns the
primary savesets, and not the clones.

So my question is, why ? What is the difference between the 2 queries ?

We're using Networker 7.3.3 on a Solaris box.

In case anyone is questioning the perl (_addnumbers.pl), here it is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Math::BigInt;
use strict;

my $number = new Math::BigInt();
while (<>) {
  my $tmp = new Math::BigInt($_);
  $number->badd( $tmp );
}

Cheers,   Pete.
