Actually doing the Move data command doesn't require any scratch tapes at all.  
Have done it a ton of times as we run out of scratch/space all of the time.  
It's a never ending battle here!!

This depends on having some scratch/filling volumes available, though.
Based on what Tom said, there is no space at all available in any pool. The 
first step needs to be to get some scratch tapes available, then RECLAIM/MOVE 
can be a viable option.
