Eric, this sounds like an extended hangover from the initial design -- as I recall, the 'archive' concept was an afterthought in the original product.
I'd go along with Richard's suggestion -- set up a minimum size disk storage pool with no nextpool and mark it readonly or unavailable.

We have just implemented an archiving server. We only want archives on this TSM server, so we created policies without a backup copy group. This however causes the BA GUI to see all files as excluded. I checked the TSM website and found Technote 1209666 (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q1=archi ve+copygroup&uid=swg21209666&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en) which verifies this behavior. So, although we don't want the user to be able to backup to this server, we have to create a backup copy group, which allows him to make backups! Is this really "works as designed"? This sounds more like bug to me, right?
