When ADSM reclaims an offsite volume, it actually copies files from the
corresponding onsite volumes to a new volume.  In this case, however,
ADSM found files that exist in the offsite volume, but can't be
accessed in your onsite volumes.  No, this is not normal -- have you
had any tape errors, or anything else happen that would make a tape
unavailable?  Check the error logs for any mount or read failures.
