Title: Managing Tape Rotations

I'm trying to work out a good tape rotation policy, and I'm trying to get vault to work the way I want it.  Basically the tapes are replaced every month, and rotated back in every 6 months (they get erased when rotated back in).  With Vault, I've noticed that the "vaulted" tapes remain in the same volume pool that they were assigned to but are moved to a different volume group.  With out unassigning the tape, and basically losing the data on said tape, is there a way to move the tape to a different Volume Pool (not volume group) while the tape is vaulted / moved off-site?  I'm dealing with hundreds of tapes, and my Volume pools are becoming cluttered with vaulted tapes.

Is there a better tape rotation system to use besides Vault, and what would any of you suggest?
