I'm not sure I understand what behavior you're seeing.

So if you bpexpdate one tape, it should expire any copies on that tape.
Does it do so?  It will not expire copies of the same image on other
tapes.

You'd use the (-m MEDIA) option if you want a piece of media to be
cleared, expiring any remaining images still on it.

You'd use the (-backupid BACKUP_ID) option if you want all copies of an
image on any tape to be expired.

Is this behavior not occuring for you?
