Sounds like a bit of a bug. Can you post the exact sequence of  
commands you're using to bbackupquery, including the options etc?

The immediate workaround would be to reduce the soft limit on the  
server to something so low it wipes out all old and deleted files,  
then after housekeeping as sorted it out, put the soft limit back.
