Dunno, I cannot reproduce your problem. But the expiry process usually
prints a lot of messages to the *Messages* buffer, like those.

Maybe it works for some initial groups and then gets stuck in some
group? Then something is probably broken with that group's files and
deleting them and redownloading only that group would solve the issue.
But I have to admit that I don't have a deeper understanding of the
agent. For me it just work... :-)
