Jim, I have seen this also. I suspect that the tape starts with part2 of a file that has part 1 on a tape still offsite, or ends with part 1 of a file that has part 2 on an offsite tape. The server can't switch between onsite and offsite mode for copypool moves and reclaims to it has to use offsite mode.
