remote copy disk pool

We are trying to get our metapool to backup to a copy pool hosted on another
server, to allow faster recovery of these small files, in the event of a
disaster.
Our recovery plan involves restoring the TSM server to the server which
hosts the 'metacopy' pool. (This server is TSM server at another site, also
backing up clients, and it will backup its metapool to a metacopy pool on
the first server.) We also have the metapools backed up to our tape DRM, in
case the disk metacopy pool is lost.

The TSM servers are 5.3.2.1, on Windows 2003 sp1.

For test purposes, the destination directories are shared, Everyone Full
Control at the share, and also Everyone Full Control ntfs.
The metacopy pool is configured to use 50MB volumes, max 200 scratch vols
allowed.
When we run the 'backup stg metapool metacopy' we see volumes being created
in the destination directory, of the correct size. The volumes do not get
fully used before they are marked 100% full and another vol is created as
shown below.

Volume Name                            Storage                   Device
Estimated    Pct   Volume
                                                   Pool Name    Class Name

Has anybody else tried this?
Can anyone think of a way of geting this to work?
All suggestions gratefully received!
