The "Reclaim Storage Pool:" is an OPTIONAL parameter and if not specified
the reclaimed data is written back to volumes in the same storage pool. This
parameter is described:


RECLAIMSTGpool
     Specifies another primary storage pool as a target for reclaimed data
     from this storage pool. This parameter is optional. When the server
     reclaims volumes for the storage pool, the server moves unexpired data
     from the volumes being reclaimed to the storage pool named with this
     parameter.

     A reclaim storage pool is most useful for a storage pool that has only
     one drive in its library. When you specify this parameter, the server
     moves all data from reclaimed volumes to the reclaim storage pool
     regardless of the number of drives in the library.

     To move data from the reclaim storage pool back to the original
     storage pool, use the storage pool hierarchy. Specify the original
     storage pool as the next storage pool for the reclaim storage pool.
     Note:
          For storage pools with DATAFORMAT=NETAPPDUMP this parameter is
          unavailable.

So, unless he's trying to maybe move to a different storage pool, or only
has a single tape drive system, he doesn't need RECLAIMSTGpool.

I would suggest he open a -CONSOLE admin window, issue the UPD...RECLAIM=
command to initiate reclammation and see what, if any , messages come out.
