Simon this may be a silly question but did you checkin those empty volumes
PRIVATE and update the volumes to a READWRITE status ?
We reclaim offsite volumes all the time and they only return to scratch once
you check them into the library and update the status to READWRITE.

Merry Christmas to all of you and a Happy Y2k
