Beginning with 4.5 FP3, tapes are moved back to the scratch pool
automatically when all images on the tape expire.  This can be disabled.
Note that this is only if you head down the FP path.  This does not occur if
you've stayed with the MP path.  From the 4.5 FP3 release notes
(http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/254498.htm):

Previously, if a scratch pool is configured, Media Manager moves volumes
from the scratch pool to any other pools that do not have volumes available.
Now, Media Manager also returns any expired media back to the scratch volume
pool automatically. The automatic behavior of returning media to the scratch
pool can be disabled in the Media Manager configuration file.

NB does not move tapes to a scratch pool.  If a tape is in a pool called
OFFSITE and all its images expire, it stays in OFFSITE.  You have to
manually write a script to scratch it.

No, Veritas does not provide such a script.  It's a feature.

Depending on your version NBU handles scratch tapes differently. I think
from NBU 4.5 FP3 it moves tapes that become empty to the SCRATCH pool 
(wouldn't live without this myself)
