I had the same question about the missing Transfer and Destroy information, but found it under the Actions menu on the right-hand side of the "Edit Properties" page of the file plan. There are options to "Add Transfer Instructions" and "Add Destroy Instructions". Not sure about your other issues, as I am also very new to this.

I am also facing the same problem.When a file is cut-off and destruction property is set,the file and all its meta data should get deleted.But the file remains in the file plan and the error no disposition bean found occurs.How can we deleted the content item totally?
Also when the cut-off time expires how can the file get deleted automatically without manually selecting the cut off option?
How can an expire aspect can be added to a space or a content?
I am new to alfresco….any suggestions will be a g8t help

Problem is an inconsistent naming of the disposition bean. In the class 'RecordsManagementScript' it is referred to as 'org.alfresco.module.recordsManagement.action.DestroyDispositionAction', whereas in the context file (action-context.xml) it gets the id 'org_alfresco_module_RecordsManagement_destroyDispositionAction'.
Cleanest solution is changing the reference in the RecordsManagementScript class and recompile; easier yet dirtier alternative is changing the id in the context file to 'org.alfresco.module.recordsManagement.action.DestroyDispositionAction'.
