I regularly see this kind of anomaly with non-API backups of clients with large numbers of small files. The last several releases of the TSM server have grouped small files into aggregates to improve the efficiency of tape operations. When some but not all of the files in an aggregate expire, the unused space within the aggregate is counted as part of the reclaimable space, but is not deducted from the reported utilization.
