I believe STORE to $null, in essence, makes a copy of the compressed 
file prior to its purge.  I remember a situation where StN was used to 
purge some files from a nearly full system volume set, and the store 
process itself actually reduced the disk space as part of its process by 
an amount that could not be explained by a $syslist file.

I haven't read all the responses on this thread, but what's wrong with a 
system level UDC that limits the PURGEGROUP command to specific 
userid(s)?  The private volume UDCs that Jeff had posted on jazz did 
something similar.
