You should be able to keep them for as long as you wish.

I would take a look at your maintenance .INI file that you're using. There may be something in there that will give you a clue.

Also, take a look in mystic -cfg, under configuration, file base settings. I always suggest setting the Upload Dupe Scan to current, instead of all. That way, it will allow you to have the same files in multiple file areas without thinking they are duplicates.

There have also been some bugs introduced into the file processing in the since A46. In the most current pre-alpha: 

 ! May have fixed a bug created in A46 with file base indexing.  Everyone that
   may experience problems with duplicate file detection should probably run
   file base packer so it can regenerate the index files.

You may want to check out the most recent pre-alpha and see if that helps.
