Hi Richard,

There is a setting in stgpools that let you specify another storagepool as
your reclaim pool.
For the reclaim to work the way you wan't it to is to leave this field
blank.

from the admin reference manual:

RECLAIMSTGpool=poolname

     Specifies another storage pool as a target for reclaimed data. This
parameter is primarily for use with
     storage pools that have only one drive in its library. This parameter
allows the volume to be reclaimed to
     be mounted in its library and the data is then moved to the specified
reclaim storage pool.

     This parameter must be an existing primary sequential storage pool.
This parameter is optional, however,
     if this parameter is used all data will be reclaimed to that storage
pool regardless of the number of drives
     in that library.

     The reclaim storage pool itself must be defined as a primary storage
pool.  There are no restrictions on
     this storage pool's definition, but it should be defined with a
NEXTSTGPOOL= value that will migrate its
     data back into the data storage hierarchy. Because its primary function
is to collect reclaimed data, its
     NEXTSTGPOOL= value should be the same storage pool from which the data
was reclaimed.
