I think the confusion comes from the fact that the client log says "Expiring-->" when it is only "In-activating" the file

When a newer version of an object is backed up, the Client does "EXPIRE" the object, but the object only "EXPIRES" from the TSM SERVER db according to the retention policy (copy_group) bound to that object. The data does not expire from the tape until it expires from the DB. Or am I lost.

Reclaimable space occurs when you existing objects that were backed up are saved again. The preivous backup of that object is expired and that part of the tape is reclaimable. Tapes are reclaimed by creating new ones without the expired objects. But this is a ongoing thing so you should be running reclamation everyday after migration. You will also need to run reclamation against your tapepools that are in the library and against the tapepools stored offsite.
