You can't move volumes (tapes) between volume pools as long as they are
assigned (i.e. the Time Assigned field has a time stamp) and the tapes will
remain assigned until all images have expired. So in general, the answer
to your question is no.
You could theoretically get around this by expiring all images on the
volumes using bpexpdate, moving them to the new pool (making sure backups
don't run as these newly expired volumes would be subject to being
overwritten) and then importing the backups. However, I think this is more
trouble than it's worth.
