Why won't DRM manage your primary pool?

Because that's not what it does.  From the ACSLS ADMIN Ref Manual
description of Move DRMedia:

Use this command to track database backup and copy storage pool volumes that
are to be moved offsite and to identify the expired or empty volumes
that are to be
moved onsite.

It only manages database backup and copypool volumes, not primary pool volumes.

What happens when you set your
drmprimstgpool?

When the HSM pool is defined in drmprimstgpool, the Move DRMedia
command does not act on any volumes in that pool.
