Rex,

Since you are not receiving any errors in your MIGLOGs regarding the dataset in question, space management is probably not running for that storage group. You must have Auto Migrate set to something other than NO to get space management to run and expire datasets.

Jack,

Secondary Space Mgmt runs at 23:00 every night.  I see no errors in the
HSM sysouts.
Is it possible that HSM won't touch a dataset that hasn't been opened?
For my test, I merely allocated some datasets then left them sit.  I
just opened one today and changed it to see if that would make any
difference.

Does SECONDARY SPACE MANAGEMENT run? That's where they should get
deleted if in fact they have not been 'accessed' in 5 days. Also look in the HSM

SYSOUTs for the SECONDARY SPACE MANAGEMENT (or process the FSRs) and see

if give you and error for the DSNs that should be scratched.
I don't think that HSM will backup a DSN that hasn't been opened, or at least given the basics by a Data Class.
