Reclaimation needs
either 2 drives 1 for input , 1 for output
or
If you have one drive you need to set up a disk storage pool to use as as a
temporary location
so the data is copied from tape to temp storagepool , then back to a
scratch or  filling tape

see in documentation there is a section specifically explaining how to do
this for sites with one tape drive..
