You can't transfer expired domains.
YES, you can. REgistrars don't like to make it easy to do, but they are mandated by ICANN to allow it...
Namescout is to blame on this one.
Seems the name was actually registered at one of the "other" Pool tags...

Expired over a month ago. The fooked you on the transfer.
I'd be screaming at NameScout first thing in the morning or this one's going on the auction block....
