Matt,
Did you tried to delete backups from SQL/backtrack?
It's in Main menu -> BackTrack catalog Admin ->Expire Backups.
Peace,

Matt,
You can try to change the policyset that the TDP's and BMC uses if the TDP's
don't know the existance of the files anymore.
If tapes are only 5% used, why you don't run reclamaition? Update your
stgpool with the reclamation on jl. 50%
