No I do not have collocation turned on for that storage pool. Offsite tapes are 
coming back when they are defined as empty after the reclaimation and 
expiration processes have done their work. However as part of the reclaimation 
process on that storage pool it is using tapes onsite that are in the library. 
A lot of these have a status of "Full" however they are only 50/60/70% used.

Thanks & Regards
