Delete Rules do not Delete files from Retained NAS media

EMC DiskXtender File System Manger 6.1 Windows
In our setup we are utilizing NetApp SnapLock to enforce Retention periods on Retained NAS media. I was told by EMC that DX and SnapLock are compatible.
I have found in testing, when a file qualifies for a Delete Rule that file is deleted from the extended drive but not from the Retained NAS media share. Here is an example of the error I receive:

ERR 01/25 08:37:41 (06D8) [Dm_Media.cpp, 3594] Failed to delete file
ERR \QA-7DAY\DR-Test4-1Day\DR_Test4.txt from media QA-NAS-7DAY (5).

After the read-only attribute is unselected on the actual file, on the media share, it is deleted from media immediately. It is not efficient to have to unselect the read-only attribute every time a file needs to be deleted from media. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I opened a case for this issue with EMC. This is a known issue and an enhancement request has been made to correct this issue. Currently, with Retained NAS the only way for delete rules to delete a file from media is if the file has the read-only attribute uncheck.
