I recently migrated our Windows 2K3 TSM server from 5.2.1.3 to 5.3.2.0
and since then, it seems that whenever I kick off space reclamation for
my primary tape storage pools, it eats up scratch tapes, instead of
freeing them up.  Is there a reason for this?  I understand that
occasionally TSM will need a scratch tape to combine other tapes, but it
should then free those other tapes up and return them to the scratch
pool.  I've checked the reuse delay on the storage pools, and they are
set to 0, so I know that isn't the problem.
