Also (and/or) if you have collocation turned on it will be writing the
     data to a "filling" tape owned by the same node, which might just have
     some expired data on it...

     Also in controlling reclamation yourself... I've found it may be
     useful to drive it with administrative scheduled events such as :
     11:00 - upd stg tapepool recl=95
     11:30 - upd stg tapepool recl=90
     12:00 - upd stg tapepool recl=85
     13:00 - upd stg tapepool recl=80
     14:00 - upd stg tapepool recl=100 (to turn it back off again)

     if you make one big jump to recl=80 it might process a bunch of 81%
     reclaimable prior to processing some 99% reclaimable... the above
     method will get you the most, the quickest.

     Dwight
