Try running you reclamation at say 90% and see if that doesn't
 free a bunch up.  You may have so many that it is trying to reclaim
say 100 tapes ansd will take forever as more tapes are added each day.

Try 90% for a couple of days.

That is a good question. There are no errors showing in the logs for any of
the tapes. Sometimes when I come in in the morning reclamation is still
running on the offsite pool, yet I still seem to find tapes in a 30% filling
status out there for long periods of time. Is there a better setting for a
reclamin_on script I should use that would better force these to another
tape?

I will surely give it a go and see if this helps. I hate to see so many 40%
and lower filling tapes out there when I could have them here as scratch.
