Hi, Not that curious. The input tape for the reclaim process is mounted in the read-Only status, the output tapes is being writen to, so is mounted read/write.
This is normal and has nothing to do with the access state of a volume seen by q vol. In case of a readonly volume, mounted in read/write status and also being the output volume of a process, I would begin to get worried....

It seems the current access level of the tape didn't have any bearing on the situation. Right now I have a q mo showing one tape as R/W and the other as R/O. The q vol f=d is telling me that both tapes are Read/Write. tsm: BACKUP1>q pr Process Process Description Status Number -------- -------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 616 Space Reclamation Offsite Volume(s) (storage pool NEWCOPYPOOL), Moved Files: 5868, Moved Bytes: 22,303,511,754, Unreadable Files: 543, Unreadable Bytes: 0.
