Were the messages moved there before expire plugin was loaded? Those
aren't tracked. Also if you change the expire time, it won't change
immediately because the old value was already used to set the "next
expire stamp" in the database.

I think it works, but you'll just have to wait for a few weeks to get
the database up to date..
