I normally reclaim offsite copypool volumes once a week.  When the
reclaim is complete, some volumes will be STATUS=EMPTY and
ACCESS=OFFSITE.  When I update the volume to ACCESS=READWRITE, it is
dropped from the Copy storage pool and I can put it back into the
scratchpool.  I have a tape that is not working that way.  It is 100%
reclaimable, 0.0% used, has no CONTENT, but just won't go empty.  Am I
doing something wrong or am I confused or am I having a Senior Moment.?
