This sounds like APAR IC31524:
====================
ABSTRACT:
BACKUPSETS NOT REMOVED FROM VOLHIST AFTER RETENTION PERIOD
EXPIRES.
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
After backupsets expire, they no longer exist on the server, but
they remain in the volhist file. This problem was documented
and fixed in APAR IC28573, but I have recreated it with
backupsets generated at both 4.1.4.0 and 4.2.0.
.
When backupsets expire, they should subsequently get removed
from the volhist file.
LOCAL FIX:
Contact Customer Support for the command to remove orphaned
backupset volumes from the volhist.

Subject: Old Backupsets
A Q VOLHIST TYPE=BACKUPSET lists some old backupsets whose retention
period has long past. Q BACKUPSET does not show these backupsets. A
DELETE BACKUPSET for them reports "No match found using this criteria".
How do I remove these from VOLHIST so I can reuse the volumes?
