Maybe if you check the volume status on your tape volumes you may have
several in a status of 'unavailable'. If so, these may be what's causing
the problem, and you can process them accordingly. If files are gone
from your primary pools, they should be gone from your copy pools also.

When ADSM reclaims an offsite volume, it actually copies files from the
corresponding onsite volumes to a new volume.  In this case, however,
ADSM found files that exist in the offsite volume, but can't be
accessed in your onsite volumes.  No, this is not normal -- have you
had any tape errors, or anything else happen that would make a tape
unavailable?  Check the error logs for any mount or read failures.
