OK, that's cool, I guess I'm in good shape then :-)

It just confuses me why TSM lists any of the old 3590 media in the DRM plan as 
there can't be anything on those volumes that are required?

As long as there is a copy of every file in (at least) one primary
storage pool, and a copy of the same file on any copy storage pool,
you're in good shape. It doesn't matter which pools, because your
database tracks where it is.
