David,
  Seeing as there have been many, many, fixes since you release I would
consider an upgrade to at least the most recent version of 5.4
As a matter of fact a couple of the 5.4.1.1 apars were reclamation
related.

Nope, no mention of waiting on a tape and/or volume

When you query the process or mounts does it state that it is waiting on
a volume (input or output)? It is possible that one of them is
unavailable, and/or mounted by another process.

Thank you,

                TSM server 5.4.1.0 running on Windows 2003. 

                I have an offsite copypool that has decided to no longer
do reclamation. I noticed that I had far more tapes in that pool that I
would have expected. I checked the pct_utilized numbers and saw that the
tapes varied from 99% down to just 5-6% utilized. 

                When I manually run the reclamation process  and then do
q process I see that I have the right number of processes that start up.
But the status never changes from showing zero moved files. It just sits
there like it's thinking about it but never mounts anything. It runs for
the duration I set then closes out. I also moved the duration back and
forth from a few minutes to a couple of hours and that didn't help
either.  I've run the threshold up and down from a few percentage points
up to 80-90% hoping something would change but no difference. I have
plenty of scratch tapes and mount points. 

                I have another onsite tapepool that is identical. But it
will do reclamation just fine.  

                Just for the heck of it I created a new offsite tapepool
using essentially the same settings as the old pool and it's appears to
run reclamations just fine. 

                Nothing has been changed in the settings for the offsite
copypool and the onsite copypool either.
