We have found that if you have a storage pool's collocation parameter set
to Group, but you have nodes that aren't in a collocation group, TSM treats
each such node as if it were in its own group - thus, each such node's data
gets written to its own set of tapes. If you have a lot of
un-collocation-grouped nodes writing to that storage pool, it will put a
lot of tapes into the filling state.

Duane -

See   Tape leak
and   Shrinking (dwindling) number of available scratch tapes ("tape
leak")
in    http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts
for the standard reason for this.  If other causes found, let me know.
