Julie,

use

q stg BACKUPTAPE f=d

check the value of "reclamation treshold". If it is less than 100%, reclamation
should trigger automatically from time to time.

Now, I assume that you have more than one drive in your 3590TAPE dev class. If
not,... reclaim won't take place.

(actually, I have the sneaky feeling that reclaim won't work if less that 3 or
4 drives are available, in some cases, but I would not bet my life on this. Has
anybody else seen something corroborating this?)
