I have tapes that I set to expire on 10/9/09 as they are set to backup for

tapes are not being put back into the usable pool.
I suspect you may have tripped over the volretent getting set to the
ssretent instead of clretent of the copy of the ssid stored on the tape....
Try the following command
mminfo -q 'volume=NAME_OF_ONE_OF_YOUR_VOLUMES' -r volretent
If it is not 10/9/2009 as you expect -- then run...
mminfo -q 'volume=NAME_OF_ONE_OF_YOUR_VOLUMES' -r
'client,ssretent,clretent,savetime,name'
and see if the volretent has been set to ssretent instead of clretent...
If it has -- you've been bitten by LGTsc24106 (which is supposedly fixed
in 7.5sp1 -- or maybe you were bitten by it in a previous version and
now the fix is making your volumes go "undef" instead of expired and so
they are not getting recycled -- I had that too.
