Sorry let me clarify..,.
The following is what is happening:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLI
# bpexpdate -deassignempty
Search for empty media that meet the following criteria:
Host: All
Media id: All
Continue? y/n .....
Could not update media list, file read failed
file read failed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answers to this problem (I believe) are found here:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to find another way of moving expired media back into the scratch pool other than using bpexpdate ... because I'm getting an error with bpexpdate and it is taking me a while to fix it.. (I'll eventually get it working I just need a short-term solution)
