Maybe I'm missing something here, but...
If you reclaim your offsite pools say Monday and Tuesday, you will have an
operator onsite to manage the tapes.
If you run reclamation for your onsite tapepool on weekends, provided you don't
have an excessive reusedelay, that should all be handled by tapes already
within the library since the reclaim will give you back scratches.
Will that address the problem?

Thanks again
On current situation is total capacity of 746 volumes including 1 CE tape and 6
cleaning carts in 3 frames. Currently I cannot keep enough scratch tapes in
the library to handle a full weekend(Fri, Sat, Sun ). Reclamation for tapepool
happens 6 days a week and reclamation for copypool(offsite tapes) happens on
weekends only. Current daily use is approx. 20 -22 tapes, we have no operator
on weekend that can manage the checkout/checkin process.
FYI - I have another frame being delivered in approx. 3 weeks.(this will
resolve my current issue).
What I like to do is "move media" to overflow location(onsite tape racks) - ?
is what volumes should go to overflow, have no any experience in determining
what volumes can be temporarily put in the overflow location.

Paul,
All of our scratch tapes reside in the 3494 library. I monitor the total
number of scratch tapes available and react when it falls below a threshold.
You mentioned your are 'sending volumes for temp onsite' and that you want
to 'determine what volumes to go to overflow'. Are you limited in the number
of tapes you can hold in your 3494 library? Are you working with retrieving
volumes from vault status? More info please... What are the symptoms of the
issue you are addressing?
John
