Hi Hilton,

I responded to the ticket that you opened around this issue.

https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1764

Essentially this is a misunderstanding of how the "Advanced Embargo" 
form works in DSpace 3.x, because it has a confusing User Interface. 
When you set an "embargo", you are not setting an *end date*, but rather 
a *start date* for a policy.  So, an Item is completely hidden (i.e. 
embargoed) until the start date passes. Once it passes, the Item becomes 
available (based on the permissions assigned in the policy).

I had a similar misunderstanding, which I logged in this ticket:

https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1709

Andrea Schweer has redesigned the Embargo UI for the upcoming DSpace 4.0 
release (see screenshot in DS-1709) to make it clearer how to set 
embargoes in DSpace.  I'd encourage you to try out that new embargo UI 
(on http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/) and provided feedback before the 4.0 
release.
