Sometimes I'm just a little slow... I've had some nodes I just couldn't delete... I'd delete filespace * and it would tell me there was nothing to delete... I'd do a remove node but it would tell me references still existed... I just did a "q backupset" and what do you know ! I had backup set references for the node (I couldn't remove)... I deleted those and then the node removed with no problem. I vote the "remove node" should tell you where in the #&!! a reference exists, if it tells you that one still does ! Oh well, long term problem resolved. hope this helps someone out there ;-) later, Dwight
