Jim,

I have seen this also.  I suspect that the tape starts with part2 of a file that
has part 1 on a tape still offsite, or ends with part 1 of a file that has part 
2
on an offsite tape.  The server can't switch between onsite and offsite mode
for copypool moves and reclaims to it has to use offsite mode.
