Yes I have this problem. The reason I needed to delete the system objects was because they were not being deleted by EXPIRE INVENTORY and they were consuming 30% of my database space.
My suggestion to all TSM admins is to do a QUERY OCCUPANCY * "SYSTEM OBJECT" to verify that you do not have excessive copies. On 5.1.1.4, I did the CLEANUP BACKUPGROUP and I still could not delete the system objects. I reran the cleanup command numerous times and each time it reported inspecting and deleting fewer objects than the previous run. The number was still in the 2000 range when I gave up and installed 5.1.1.6. On this level, expiration still failed to delete the system objects but I could manually delete most of them. As of now I have 6 servers where I can not delete the system objects. I have an open PMR.
