As luck would have it, the nodes I moved were large file servers and my
copy pool is not collocated. I probably have data spread across 600
volumes. I think I'll pass on bringing them back....
This is by no means a "new" frustration for many folks. Any idea why old
big blue hasn't tried to add this functionality? The process of migrating
data to new media is severely handicapped by the lack of flexibility to
MOVE DATA across copy pools.

If you want to pursue this, you'll have to run a select statement
against the VOLUMEUSAGE to find the relevant offsite pool volumes. Check
in the volumes from the resultant list, and run your MOVE NODEDATA.
