Ah, I'm afraid "Manage records" is a confusion for admins, especially
when looking at eprint records.

Find the item via a normal route (summary page -> View item) or Admin
item search.

"Manage records" is a generic swiss-army knife, that won't show you any
special actions. The two views on records (/items) will eventually
merge, as the eprints internals get sorted out.
