I would conclude that you have your collocation on the copypool set to 
something other than "none." My back-up theory is that you're using a "dur=" 
parameter on your reclaim commands, and they simply are not finishing. 

Are these tapes marked as being off-site? Are they in "filling" status or 
"full"? "Filling" tapes normally are excluded from reclamation if they're 
allegedly still in the library. 

I'm not sure why it would matter, but what's your TSM server level?
