Hopefully you don't mean that you're doing a Define Volume to assign each
volume to a tape pool...which would leave it dedicated to the pool.

Beyond that: If the supposedly reclaimed volumes still show up in a
Query Volume, maybe they have been forced read-only by tape error
thresholding or the like.  You'll need to rummage around gathering info,
particularly in doing 'Query Volume F=D' and see what the volume status
shows.  You should also be checking your Activity Log for the volumes in
question, as that log should clearly show what's going on with them.
