I agree,
a move data works on offsite tapes, the primary stgpool volumes are used, just
as space reclamaition.

I had a call open with TSM support were space reclamation always failed on
several volumes with a database error.
The funny thing was when you did a move data on the offsite pool it was
successfull, but the next time a backup storagepool was run on the primary
storagepool, TSM wanted to backup that file to the copypool. ????

The problem only dissapeared after the files on these volumes expired, so what
went wrong could not be traced back by 2nd level TSM support

I concur.  I have done MOVE DATA on copypool tapes.  TSM simply recopies
the original onto new copypool tapes since it knows the real "copy pool
tapes" are offsite !

Says the reference manual:
"The data can be located in either a primary or copy storage pool."
The problem with the attempted operation was Offsitedness and TSM
documentation and programming shortcomings.
