Check out this deduperequiresbackup information

I think you'll have to run backups of your devt_file before you can reclaim.

Backup stgpool devt_file lto_copy

If your diskpool backups are working right, you shouldn't have anything to back 
up from devt_file.

The first thing I would check, is that you have full volumes that are
10% full (90% reclaimable), which is what the 90 in your command
specifies.
