I do have images in hp_storeone that I want do expire, from 1/11/2015 to 02/12/215, we did have had a problem with our tape drive and NetBackup on that dates. When I use catelog to expire them it says to me "Backup image expiration cannot be moved. Because this slp process s not yet completed. We need space on our server, I want to delete this and do not need them to go to tape

Backup images under SLP control that hasn't been SLP processed will have infinity retention period until SLP has done its job.
Take at the output from : nbstlutil stlilist –image_incomplete
I bet the list is long, you need to find out why SLP hasn't been processes. Could SLP be disabled ?
if you know its disk to tape copy - simple cancel SLP process using eiter
Cancel pending operations on selected image
nbstlutil cancel -backupid <backupid>
nbstlutil cancel -lifecycle <lifecycle>
More SLP command can be found at : https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH170086

What version of Netbackup are you on ?
What options is being return if you just run
# nbstlutil (and then press enter)

You could just run:
root@womble Image_Table_Split $ nbstlutil stlilist
V7.6.0 I womble_1473747910 womble_slp 3
See how the line ends with a 3, this means this image is complete. If it ends with a 1 or a 2, it is not complete, so you could look for images that way.
As an alternative, you could add -U
root@womble Image_Table_Split $ nbstlutil stlilist -U
Image womble_1473747910 for Lifecycle womble_slp is COMPLETE
... then it tells you in English.
