Based on what your msg shows -- ve=14, vd=1, re=nolimit, ro=180...
the most recent 14 versions (ve=14) of a file that exists on the client
will be kept for "nolimit" number of days (after each run of expiration).

When the file is deleted on the client, the next full-incremental will
mark all but the last 1 (vd=1) for deletion, the last 1 will be kept for
ro=180 days.
