Can't free up tapes that had been used for duplication

Hopefully board can help.
 
I have tapes that since upgrading to 6.0mp2 (solaris) that are used by vault to duplicate never expire. These are the original copies that do this because the secondary copy sent to the vault expire as expected.  Under the media gui these tapes show full or active and say they have images on them.  Under catalog on gui when you sort for images it does not see any of these.
 
I had opened a ticket Case 280-704-134 ( Tapes used duplication not expiring images..
 
and got this response
 
With regards to our previous discussion over the technote number 283603, I would like you to run the following command:
 
 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -dump > /tmp/dump.txt

if it shows the output as

MDS allocations in EMM:
MdsAllocation allocationKey=29 jobType=1 mediaKey=4000001 mediaId=AZZ001( any specific media id) driveKey=2000001
driveName=Single_DDS drivePath={3,0,6,0} stuName=Magg masterServerName=1time
mediaServerName=1time ndmpTapeServerName
 
then kindly run the command

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbrbutil -releaseMDS < MEDIAID>
 
 
When run the above cmd I do not see any difference.  Am I supposed to be looking for somthing else?
 
Any Ideas?
 
TIA  Steve
