That can only be done on a sequential access pool.  If you try on a
storagepool of device type disk you will get:

ANR1718E MOVE DATA: Reconstruction of file aggregates is supported only
for movement in which the source and target storage pools are
sequential-access. ANS8001I Return code 3.

I was under the impression that performing a "move data xxxxxx
reconstruct=y" would reconstruct the aggregate, thus effectively
performing reclamation on a disk type volume.  Probably not what the TSM
developers intended it for, but it might be just the ticket for those
moving to disk-only infrastructures (and not wanting to use file based
volumes).

Once again check out
http://ew.share.org/callpapers/attach/Long_Beach_Conference/S5725a.pdf

There is a table that compares Disk Pools (Random Access) to Seq File
Disk pools.  The answer is aggregrate reconstruction is not supported on
disk pools.
