I'm assuming if the master/media runs out of scratch tape within the
local robot then it will request a scratch tape from the remote site.  

We have seen this with a local standalone drive that did not have tapes
left in its assigned pool.  At that time the backup requested a scratch
tape that we normally keep for on the local robot use.

I don't understand.  Why do you want a new scratch pool on the media
instead of just using the existing scratch pool?

What do you hope to accomplish by doing that?
