I'm a little puzzled by the output of the following command
invocation on my master server and I'm wondering if anyone
might be able to provide me some insight or suggestions for
additional troubleshooting.

I am querying for volumes that are offsite and have expired.

I am then piping this list of volumes into a command to
make sure every save set within the volumes has expired as well.

It returned 20 or so volumes in which all their save sets
had expired, but one came back that clearly has save sets that have not expired:

bash-2.04$   mminfo -a -r "volume" -q "volretent<=today,location=''" |
>       while read volume; do
>         mminfo -r volume,ssid,ssretent,ssbrowse -q 
> "volume=${volume},ssretent>today"
>       done 2>&1 | grep -v "no matches"

 volume        ssid        retent   browse
 000696         1699751598  04/26/07 04/26/07
 000696         3931294194  04/28/07 04/28/07
 000696         2907970399  04/29/07 04/29/07
 000696         5598449     04/30/07 04/30/07


I'm new to networker so I might have my semantics wrong as
far as what volretent means.

I would assume (thats the first problem right? ;-) that volretent would
be equal to the latest expiration on all contained save sets? Is
this my misunderstanding?

Thank you,

Kevin Counts

And here is a "V"erbose on the volume.
